County Championship 2004 Roseanne Niven.

What a final!! Roseanne and Carly met on Sunday in the final and what a final it proved to be. Roseanne opened with a birdie 3 to go one up then after an excellent second shot to the green on the 2nd goes 2 up. Both girls par the par 3 3rd. Roseanne pars the 4th to go 3 up. Carly immediately replies with a good par at the 5th to bring it back to 2. Both par the 6th and Roseanne has a good par at the short 7th to bring it back to 3 up. Both girls par the 8th and Carly sinks a magnificent 15 foot putt at the 9th for a birdie 3 to bring the score back to 2 at the turn. Roseanne at this stage was level par with one birdie and one bogey. Carly also playing beautiful golf was 2 over par. With a great 2nd shot on 10 Roseanne secures a birdie to bring the score to 3. Again Carly replies with a birdie at the long par 5 and the score reverts to 2. Roseanne then has back to back birdies on 12 and 13 extending her lead to 4. Roseanne then hits to the left of the green at 14 and Carly misses to the right. Roseanne chips first and chips pin high. Carly chips past the hole and misses her putt back. Roseanne putts for the championship and calmly slots it in.
What a treat for all the spectators to watch such a wonderful display of golf. Roseanne was 3 under par thru 14 and the betterball score for both players was 6 under. The future certainly is looking bright for P&K with such excellent young players coming through. Roseanne was runner up last year and I am sure both girls will feature strongly in the Jambouree at Monifieth in June. Well done both.
