JENNA, MICHELLE HEAD P&W RANKINGS

JENNA AND MICHELE EARN TOP
PLACES IN P&W RANKINGS FOR 2006

Jenna Wilson (Strathaven), currently playing in the Ladies European Tour Qualifying School Stage 1 event in Italy, and Ellon teenager Michele Thomson, now in Alabama on a four-year golf scholarship at Jacksonville State University, came out top of the Paull & Williamsons’ women’s and girls’ golf rankings for the 2006 Scottish Ladies Golf Association season.
Jenna Wilson, who was runner-up to Clare Queen last year, earned the No 1 woman ranking with a stroke average of 3.60 under CSS in 10 designated tournaments.
Louise Kenney (Pitreavie) was runner-up with -1.10.
Michele Thomson, 18-year-old winner of the North of Scotland women’s title and the Scottish schoolgirls championship before she left for the United States, earned the No 1 girl ranking with a stroke average of 1.78 for nine designated events.
Jane Turner (Mortonhall) was runner-up with an average of 2.11.
Players had to play in a minimum of 10 designed events for the women’s rankings and nine for the girls’ rankings. Neither Krystle Caithness (St Regulus), who won the girls’ title last year, nor Carly Booth (Comrie), who gained Junior Ryder Cup honours during the season, played in enough events to gain a P&W ranking.
