Gillian Monteith wins Galloway county title

Nineteen-year-old SLGA B squad player Gillian Monteith, a member at Portpatrick Dunskey, won the Galloway women's county championship at Newton Stewart Golf Club on Sunday.
A +1 player, Gillian had rounds of 76 and 72 for 148.
Runner-up was Gwen Robson, who plays off seven at Wigtownshire County), with scores of 78 and 79 for 157.
They were the only competitors in the field - and you can blame the nearness of the Open championship venue - Turnberry - for that.
Most of the players who might otherwise have been in the Galloway women's county championship field were either spectating at the Open or acting as crowd marshalls at the Turnberry venue.
