We did not really go into Ailsa Summer's brilliant scoring, hole by hole, at the weekend in her memorable, great-boost-for-Scottish-women's golf triumph in the St Rule Trophy at St Andrews.
But, now, we have a little time to analyse and the 19-year-old St Andrews University student's scorecards make pretty impressive reading.
Ailsa had:
3 Eagles
16 Birdies
30 Pars
4 Bogeys
1 Double Bogey

Figures in red are birdies
Figures in pink underscored are eagles
Figures in blue are bogeys
Figure  in brown underscored is a double bogey
