Gemma Webster makes professional debut

on United States Futures Tour

Former Scotland amateur international Gemma Webster from Glasgow has turned professional and is making her pro debut on the US Futures Tour’s New England Classic at Bloomfield, Connecticut.
Gemma graduated a month or two ago after four years at Ohio State University. She was a regular member of the Buckeyes’ girls’ team and was latterly team captain.
A Scotland athletics international before she turned to golf, Gemma was beaten in the final of the 2002 Scottish girls’ championship by Laura Walker (Nairn Dunbar) at Powfoot.
She started a dentistry degree course at Dundee University, during which time she won the British women’s universities stroke-play championship at Murrayshall, before moving to Ohio.
She gained playing rights on the Futures Tour at its Qualifying School at the end of last year but did not turn professional until she had left Ohio State University.

Gemma, who is 23, has made the cut on her pro debut with rounds of 72 and 73 for 145.
