KATHLEEN SUTHERLAND LEADS

SCOTTISH SENIORS FIELD WITH

76 AT TESTING GLENBERVIE

Royal Montrose’s Kathleen Sutherland coped best with the stiff test of a Glenbervie course and its punishing rough in the first round of the Scottish senior women’s stroke-play golf championship today.
Kathleen, pictured right, got round in 76 strokes on a day when the CSS went up by three strokes to 75, three over the par for the women’s course.
She led by two shots from Margaret Tough (Falkirk) with four players sharing third place on 79 – defending champion Ruth Brown (Lothianburn), Fiona Hunter (Baberton), Heather Anderson (Downfield) and Anna Telfer (Milngavie).
The leading 16 players at the end of Friday’s second and final stroke-play round will go forward to the match-play championship. The holder of the match-play title, Fiona De Vries (St Rule), withdrew from the stroke-play championship.
