HEATHER WINS WPGA CHAMPIONSHIP 

PLAY-OFF AND £1,000

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Former British women's amateur stroke-play champion Heather MacRae, who recently switched from the Gleneagles pro staff to Archerfield Links, scored one of her biggest wins as a professional today (Tuesday).
The 32-year-old from Dunblane made winning debut appearance in the WPGA championship at Frilford Heath Golf Club, Oxfordshire.
She beat Suzanna Dickens (Thorpe Wood) at the first hole of a play-off after they had tied on four-under-par 138.
This is the first year the players have had to play two rounds in one day but Heather was fit enough to cope with a pair of 69s which earned her £1,000.
Suzanne sagged by six shots, from a first-round 66 to a 72. She earned £800.
Former US Women's Open champion Alison Nicholas (Beau Desert) finished third on 142 (73-69) and earned £650.
Ireland's Maura Morrin (73-71) and Katie Rule (Mullion) (70-74) tied for fourth place on 144 and earned £537 each.
