Tara Mactaggart (Minto) was an impressive winner of the Mackie Bowl by four strokes  at Gullane today with an eight-under-par total of 140, made up of rounds of 69 and 71.
She had a bag of 10 birdies over the day and her only two bogeys came late in her second round - at the 13th and 17th.
Runner-up was Angus county champion Gillian Paton (Royal Montrose) who was only one behind after an opening 70 but could not press home a challenge on the second circuit and finished on 144 after a 74, which included bogeys at the seventh, 11th and 15th.
Joint third finishers Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) and Rachael Livingstone (Kingsknowe) were also breathing down the winner's neck after the first round, Briggs with a 70 and Livingstone with a 69 but they drifted out of contention in the afternoon with rounds of 76 and 77 respectively.
