Strathaven’s Jenna Wilson followed up her victory in the Munross Trophy at Montrose by winning another prestigious 36-hole event on the Scottish women’s amateur circuit, the Mackie Bowl, at Gullane today.
Jenna had two rounds of 71 for a total of 142, against a par of 74 and a CSS of 74 for both rounds.

Jo and Jane were also joint second behind Jenna at Montrose.
Jo had scores of 74 and 71 against Jane’s 70 and 75 so Miss Carthew was officially placed second on the better second round.
