EMILY OGILVY BEATS JENNIFER SAXTON IN P AND K FINAL
It was third time lucky for Emily Ogilvy (Muckhart) in the final of the Perth and Kinross women's county championship at Strathmore Golf Centre this afternoon.
Beaten in the last stage of the 2007 and 2010 county championships, Emily finally got her hands on the trophy with a 4 and 3 win over P and K's outstanding 16-year-old prospect Jennifer Saxton (Kinross).
Ogilvy never lost the lead after winning the second but it was not until after the turn - at which point she was only up - that Emily began to stretch her lead.
Jennifer had beaten the top seed and former champion Laura Walker (Muckhart) at the 19th in the morning semi-finals in which Ogilvy was also taken to the first extra hole before beating Jillian Milne (Craigie Hill).
The P and K handicap championship final was won by Lesley Whitwood (Aberfeldy).
She beat Helen Payne (Milnathort) by 3 and 2.
