"I could see the lines clearly on the greens today," said Lynn who was three under par for the 16 holes.
CLAIRE HARGAN beat LESLEY MACKAY by one hole.
Claire birdied the par-5s (the second, fourth and fifth) on the outward journey to be three up at the turn. That lead was extended to four when Lesley was bunkered at the 10th. Lesley had come back from five down in the morning to beat Jenna Wilson ... could she do it again?
Well, Lesley proceeded to birdie five holes in a row from the 13th. The 13th in fact was halved in birdies but then Lesley won the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th to be all square on the 18th tee.
Claire then had a real stroke of luck. Her drive landed on the tarmac road which crosses the fairway and her ball bounced so far forward that it came to rest in the Valley of Sin, just in front of the green. From there, Claire was able to putt close, setting up a winning birdie 3 to the gallant Lesley's 4.
"I didn't do much wrong on the way in. Lesley was winning the holes with birdies so it wasn't as if I was giving them away. The only time I was really nervous was over that last putt to win a place in the last eight," said Claire.
LAURA WELLS beat KAREN MARSHALL by 2 and 1.
Iowa State University student Laura was one down or square until the 15th which she won to lead for the first time in the tie. Then, having made the breakthrough, the Dumfries & County exile promptly made it two wins in a row by taking the 16th.
Wells then played a tremendous seven-wood approach on to the green at the Road Hole 17th, close to the flag, and was conceded victory.
"I was two or three over par for the whole match," said Laura. "It wasn't until the closing holes that I got into my stride."
