Rachel Hanlon wins Strathtyrum Trophy Tournament

mentAlmost unheard of for the top four seeds in a match-play tournament to make it through to the last four but that's what happened in the St Andrews Links Trust's Strathtyrum Trophy women's amateur tournament this past week.
Top qualifier Karen Marshall (Baberton), No 2 Pamela Williamson, also of Baberton, No 3 Rachel Hanlon from the local St Regulus club and No 4 Elaine Clark, a Manchester-based Scot, all survived through to the semi-finals.
Rachel Hanlon was the eventual winner, beating Elaine Clark at the 19th in a thriller of a final.

Last day results:
SEMI-FINALS
Elaine Clark (Manchester) bt Karen Marshall (Baberton) 3 and 2.
Rachel Hanlon (St Regulus) bt Pamela Williamson (Baberton) 6 and 5.
FINAL (18 holes)
Hanlon bt Clark at 19th.
