HEATHER WINS CLASSIC VETS FINAL
AGAINST CHRISTINE AT BLAIRGOWRIE

Northern champion Heather Anderson (Downfield) is the new Scottish Veteran Ladies Golf Association champion. In the tightest of finals over the Blairgowrie Rosemount course today, Heather beat Christine McAndrew (Nairn Dunbar), the Highland veteran women's title-holder, by one hole.
Heather, pictured right, was never in arrears but, at the same time, she was never more than a hole up. Christine got a birdie 2 at the ninth to square the contest but Heather regained her lead at the next hole.
Christine drew level again with a concession at the 13th. Heather went ahead for the last time at the 16th before two halves ended a enthralling contest.

Semi-finals - H Anderson (Northern) bt J Brydson (Galloway) 2 holes, C McAndrew (Highland) bt H Faulds (West) 2 and 1.
Final - Anderson bt McAndrew 1 hole.
