Scottish senior women's amateur championship
Anderson v Glennie, Fentonv Thomson in semi-finals
Heather Anderson was in blooming good form over the Montgomery course at Kinross today to reach the semi-finals of the Scottish senior women’s closed amateur golf championship.
The former Downfield and now Alyth player squeezed into the match-play stages as the last of the 16 qualifiers but you would never have known from the quality of performances she produced today.
In the first round she toppled the No 1 seed Fiona Hunter (Baberton) with ease, beating her by 7 and 5.
And to show that was no fluke Heather then beat the eighth best qualifier, former Curtis Cup player and one time world junior champion Suzanne Cadden from Cardross by 3 and 2.
Heather now plays the fourth seed Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) for a place in the final. Alex beat former champion Pamela Williamson (Bab erton) by 5 and 3 and then had a 2 and 1 win over Helen Faulds (Douglas Park).
The second semi-final sees Noreen Fenton (Dunbar), the No 3 seed, tackle the 10th qualifier, Moira Thomson (Gullane Ladies), the 1968 Scottish girls champion and, more recently, winner of the Scottish veteran women’s title at Blairgowrie.
Noreen, pictured above by Cal Carson Golf Agency, was given a run for her money by 14th seed Frances Neish (Moray) before edgining through on the 18th green in the morning and followed that up with another visit to the last green, winning by two holes against Mary Smith (Tain), the Scottish seniors stroke-play champion last year.
Moira Thomson had a good 2 and 1 win over a that capable Royal Montrose player Kathleen Sutherland before beating the defending match-play champion, Lorna Bennett (Ladybank) at the 20th hole in the last quarter-final to finish.
