Third time lucky for Louise

Louise Kenney has won the Scottish Ladies' Amateur Championship for the first time after beating Eilidh Briggs by 5 & 4 over Machrihanish Golf Course.

In attrocious weather conditions Louise parred the first five holes and that was enough to give her a 2 hole advantage. Eilidh birdied the sixth to half the deficit but an eagle at the par five seventh hole restored Louise's two hole lead. The eighth and ninth holes were exchanged before Louise won the next two holes to increase her lead to four. Halves followed at the 12th and 13th holes but a bogey at the 14th was enough for Louise to win the hole and completed a 5 & 4 victory.

Its Eilidh vs Louise for the Title

The Final of the 2011 Scottish Ladies' Amateur Championship will be contested between Eilidh Briggs and Louise Kenney after two semi-finals of the highest quality.

In the first semi-final between sisters Eilidh and Megan Briggs from Kilmacolm Golf Club, Megan birdied the first two holes, however that was only enough to take a one hole lead. Birdie's by younger sister Eilidh at the 4th and 6th holes quickly turned the match in her favour and a par at the 8th hole was enough to give Eilidh a two hole advantage. The next five holes were halved in pars before Megan squared the match with a birdie at the 400 yard par four 14th hole and par at the par three 15th. However, pars from Eilidh at 16 and 17 were enough to win both holes and win the match by 2 & 1.

Eilidh was approximately three under par in winning the match by 2 & 1.

The second semi-final between Pitreavie's Louise Kenney and Jane Turner from Craigielaw was another excellent match. The players exchanged birdies at the first and second holes but Louise pulled two holes clear after a par on the 3rd hole and birdie four on the par five 7th. The next five holes were halved, before Louise once again put on the pressure with another birdie at the 13th and two holes later the match was over when a bogey was enough for Louise to win the hole and the match.

Louise Kenney was approximately two under par in winning the match by 4 & 3.

The final of the Clark Rosebowl was contested between two Elmwood College students, Rachel Hanlon (St Regulus) and Ailsa Bain (Peebles). Ailsa Bain was approximately four over par in defeating Rachel Hanlon by 1 hole.

The final of the Championship tees off at 9am tomorrow at Machrihanish Golf Club. Spectators are welcome.
