Emma Hale leading qualifier for Ayrshire 

women's match-play

A total of 77 players battled against strong gusty winds at Prestwick Golf Club yesterday in the Ayrshire women's county  qualifying round.  Not surprisingly it was a reduction only outcome.
Unfortunately, last year's champion, Catherine Malcolm (Prestwick St Cuthbert), was unable to defend her title having to withdraw due to illness.
Emma Hale (Troon Ladies) repeated her performance from last year by finishing top qualifier with an excellent score  in the testing conditions of 83.  Jenny Linklater (Largs) was second scratch with an 85 but is unavailable for the match-play stages.
