KATHLEEN SUTHERLAND WINS SENIORS' STROKE-PLAY TITLE

BY FOUR SHOTS FROM FIONA

HUNTER

Kathleen Sutherland (Royal Montrose) led from start to finish to win the Scottish senior women’s amateur stroke-play golf championship at Glenbervie Golf Club today.
It was her second win in the event which she also won in 2004. Miss Sutherland is also holder of the Scottish veteran women’s match-play championship.
With rounds of 76 and 77 for a total of 153, she had four shots to spare at the finish from Fiona Hunter (Baberton) with rounds of 79 and 78.
Defending champion Ruth Brown (Lothianburn) tied with Lorna Bennett (Ladybank) and Helen Faulds (Douglas Park) for third place on 158.
The players with the 16 best 36-hole aggregates now go forward to contest the seniors’ match-play title at the same venue over the weekend.
