JILLIAN MILNE WINS P AND K 

TITLE FOR SECOND TIM E

Craigie Hill's Jillian Milne has regained the Perth and Kinross women's county golf championship she last won in 2006.
After losing in the county finals of 2011 and 2102, Jillian made no mistake this time round when she
beat the top seed, Stephanie Crolla (Muckhart), by two holes in the final at Auchterarder Golf Club this afternoon.
Both players had three birdies apiece.
Milne set off at a rate of knots by winning the first four holes but Crolla, three down after eight, slashed the deficit by winning the ninth and 10th to be only one down.
Milne promptly went to up again by winning the 11th but she could not shake off her game opponent.
Crolla won the 15th, Milne the 16th and then Crolla birdied the 17th to be one down on the 18th tee.
The No 1 qualifier was bunkered at the last and Milne won the hole, the match by two holes and the title.
Lesley Whitwood (Aberfeldy), receiving nine strokes, beat Alison Stockley (Craigie Hill) at the 19th in the P and K handicap championship final.
