TITLE-WINNER SUSAN JACKSON
Ladybank's
Susan Jackson won the East of Scotland women's championship in a very
tight finish at Falkirk Tryst Golf Club today (Sunday).
Susan finished with a one-under-par 70 to win by a single shot from Kate McIntosh (Broomieknowe) and Louise Macgregor (Falkirk).
Kate's better inward half earned her second prize.
Susan
looked set for a runaway win when she reached the turn in
five-under-par but she bogeyed the 10th, 11th and 12th, then
double-bogeyed the 13th.
But Jackson stopped the rot and was able to salvage a four-over-par inward half for a 70 to hold her challengers at bay.
Former Curtis Cup player and past British champion Alison Davidson (Stirling) was the pre-tournament favourite on the grounds that she had set a new course record of 65 over the course in the Falkirk Tryst Women's Open three weeks previously - a score that saw Alison regain a +1 handicap.
But a repeat performance was not forthcoming and Alison finished with a 72.
Craigmillar Park members filled the first two places in the handicap section. Megan Linton had the lowest net round of 66 off 19, winning by one stroke from clumate Emma Morrison who had a 67 off eight.
