FINALS DAY

Congratulations to Kirsty Brodie who became the youngest ever Ladies Club Champion. Winning the first 2 holes Kirsty took an early lead but Dawn Butchart fought back to win 3,6 ,7 & 9 to go 2 up at the turn. A birdie 3 on 10 and win on 12 squared the match and with a strong finish by winning 15,16,17 & 18 took a 4 hole lead after the 1st round. Dawn started the 2nd round strongly by winning the 1st and birdieing the 3rd to cut the deficit to 2. Kirsty responded by winning 5 Dawn responded by winning 6. Kirsty regained her 3 hole advantage by winning 9. Dawn won 11 Kirsty won 12 and Dawn 13 and 16 to take it back to 1 down. Kirsty won on the 36th hole when Dawn sportingly conceded Kirsty the hole as she had two putts from 6ft for the half which would have been enough to secure the Championship. A great match and a tremendous result for Kirsty.

In the Junior Scratch Final Michael Brodie made it a family double with a comeback against Brad Bannerman who was 2 up after 11 but Michael won 12,13 &14 and won 2&1.

As I said last night I expected close matches and thats what we got, well done to all and I expect the same on Wednesday when Kirsty and Tod Bannerman play the Handicap Final.
