MEGAN MAKES THE FINAL

Megan was getting 5 shots from Eilidh Crawford of Kingsfield and found herself I down after the first. Great par putts on 2 and 3 kept the deficit the same. On 5 Megan used her shot to draw level before going ahead at 6. Both players found a bunker on 7 and Megan played a superb shot and holed out to extend her lead. After 11 Megan was 4 up but Eilidh was not finished and responded by winning 3 on the bounce. Megan responded with a great par on 15 after a poor 2nd shot but hit it close in 3 and holed out to go back to 2 up. 16 was halved and on 17 Megan found the bunker whilst Eilidh found the heart of the green. A great bunker shot gave her a chance and when her opponent just failed to hole her putt Megan secured a great victory with a tremendous hole out from 15ft.

The afternoon final was against Ailsa Brannock of Castle Douglas but this time Megan was giving 19 shots !!!! She found herself 1 up after 2 with a par and lost 3 and 4 where she was giving 2 shots. on the 6th Megan hit her tee shot into 2ft and Ailsa also found the green and nearly holed her second leaving Megan a 2ft putt for a half - hard school but she holed her birdie putt. The 8th was lost to a net 3 but 10 saw the match all square again. Unfortunately giving so many shots were beginning to take there toll and 11, 12 and 15 were lost and although Megan halved 16 it was not enough and Ailsa won.

I am very proud of Megan's performance over the 3 days and she can take huge positives from her result and finishing 2nd is something she should be very proud of especially giving away 19 shots.
