HANNAH McCOOK ONE OFF THE PACE IN WINDY IRELAND

FROM THE IRISH LADIES GOLF UNION WEBSITE
Donaghadee's Jessica Ross leads the field by one stroke with a four-over-par 78 (CSS 80) after the first round of the Irish Women’s Open Amateur Strokeplay at The Island Golf Club, Donabate, Co Dublin today.
In 35 mile an hour winds, Ross punched well above her weight to lead current Internationals Gillian O'Leary (Cork) and Charlene Reid (Royal Portrush) alongside Scotland girl international and Stirling Univesity student Hannah McCook (Grantown on Spey), pictured by Cal Carson Golf Agency.
As competitors struggled in the trying conditions, Maria Dunne was one further back after an 80 while the Maguire twins and Mary Dowling lie menacingly within striking distance.
The 61 competitors play a second 18 holes this afternoon with the top 40 making the cut for the final 18 holes on Sunday.
