AYRSHIRE LADIES COUNTY GOLF ASSOCIATION

Players from 11 different countries teed up for the inaugural Girls' Under 16's Open Championship run by the R & A.   Played over Fulford near York,  Rachel Foster (Prestwick St. Nicholas)  had two excellent rounds of 77 and 75, marred only by an 85 in round 2.   The CSS for the three rounds was 73, 73, 74.   Rachel finished a very creditable 29th out of a field of 90 very talented girls.  Scottish Girls' 2017 champion Hannah Darling came from behind to win the event on 218.   Well done Rachel!

It was a very close final this afternoon between Lorna Ronnie and Alex   Glennie. Lorna took a 3 hole lead after 14 holes but Alex pulled 2 holes back to  stand on the 18th tee one down.  A great approach shot to the green  meant she was in with a chance of taking the match to the 19th hole but  the putt didn't drop. Congratulations to Lorna who played some great golf all week to win her  first Ayrshire County Championship. Thanks to all those who came along to support.
