IRISH SENIOR WOMEN'S OPEN STROKE-PLAY AT CASTLEROCK

 

IRISH IN POLE POSITION AFTER ROUND ONE

 

 

NEWS RELEASE FROM IRISH LGU
Ireland’s Pat Doran (Donabate), Pauline Walsh (Headfort) and Canada’s Diane Williams lead the field by one stroke after the first round of the Irish Senior Women’s Open Strokeplay at Castlerock Golf Club, Wednesday 11 September.

In appalling conditions, where wind and rain battered the competitors from start to finish, the trio braved the elements to be the only players to break 80, one stroke ahead of 2010 Champion Helen Jones (Royal Portrush),   Gertie McMullen (The Island) and Marianne Towersey (USA).

The Heath’s Catherine Reilly is lurking menacingly on 81 while defending Champion Minna Kaarnalahti (FIN) had to settle for an 82, three strokes off the pace.

In the Nations Cup, Ireland B and Canada B lead the chasing pack.
The field plays a further 18 holes strokeplay tomorrow Thursday with the field cut to 50 for the final round on Friday. The Irish party of just 28 will be keen to impress the Irish Selectors ahead of next week’s announcement of the Irish team to defend the Seniors Home International title in Wales in early October.
