Megan beats sister Eilidh
for Renfrewshire hat-trick
It was the battle of the Briggs sisters from Kilmacolm in today's 18-hole final of the Renfrewshire women's county golf championship at Bonnyton Golf Club.
Megan, 18, picture right by courtesy of Carol Fell, all rights reserved, won the the title for the third year in a row by beating 14-year-old Eilidh by 4 and 3.
Both played well on the outward half, Megan turning in level par to be only one hole up.
She birdied the 10th to double her advantage and then went three up with a par at the 11th.
Eilidh kept her hopes alive by winning the 12th before the 13th was halved.
Megan went three up again with a par at the 14th and this time there was no way back for young Elidh.
Megan birdied the 15th for a 4 and 3 winning margin - but how lucky Kilmacolm Golf Club and the Renfrewshire association to have two such talented youngsters.
In the semi-finals, Megan, the leading qualifier, won by 4 and 2 against former international Donna Jackson (Cochrane Castle), winner of the county title many times in the past, while Eilidh, the No 3 seed, beat the No 2 qualifier, Sarah McCorkell (Williamwood) by one hole.

Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm) bt Donna Jackson (Cochrane Castle) 4 and 2.
