What price an Emily treble in Scottish girls U18 championship at Strathmore?
England
teenager Emily Price completed a winning double in women’s golf events
with a one-shot victory in The Leveret at Formby Ladies' Golf Club in
Lancashire.
She
was one-under par for the 36 holes – played in continuous rain – and
added it to her success in the Whittington Ladies’ Trophy only four days
earlier.
Price,
an England girl international, scored one-over 72 in the first round
and followed up with 69 in the afternoon, the best score of the day.
“I’m
really happy to have got two wins out of my first two events, it’s more
than I could have asked for and it’s a good start to the season,” said
the 16-year-old from Cleobury Mortimer Golf Club (Image © Leaderboard

“Now,
I just hope I keep my form going this week,” she added as she looked
forward to the Scottish U18 girls’ championship, which starts tomorrow at Strathmore Golf Centre, Alythg
In
the Leveret the first round pace was set by three players who shot 70:
Kent’s Cloe Frankish (Chart Hills) and the Yorkshire pair of Rochelle
Morris (Woodsome Hall) and Olivia Winning (Rotherham).
Price,
meanwhile, was among a group of four players who carded 72, but she had
no time to check the leaderboard at lunchtime, when she had a 10-minute
turnaround.
“I
didn’t know who had played well so I just went out and kept my head
down and let everything take care of itself. I knew I needed to shoot a
nice score and when I got in I found I was leading, but I had to wait
for the rest of the girls to come in before I knew I’d won.”
Once
again, Price saw the benefit of her winter work on her putting game. “I
used to three putt all the time! Now I’m holing more putts and more
birdies are coming from that.”
Price
is a past winner of the English U15 girls' championship and has
represented England and GB&I at U16 level. She is a member of the
England Golf girls' squad.
Morris
scored 72 in the second round to finish as runner-up on level par, one
shot ahead of Frankish. Caitlin Whitehead (Kendal) and Winning were a
further stroke behind on two-over.
