Well done Eilidh!
 
 
Eilidh Watson could top her dad who was Scottish boys champion in 1973

By HUGH HUNTER
Muckhart’s Eilidh Watson, pictured by Cal Carson Golf Agency, put in a top class performance in the Scottish women's amateur Championship at Tain last week, reaching the semi-final stage after a 19th hole win against the No 3 seed and 2009 champion Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm). Eilidh was at one stage four down to Megan and still one down on the 18th tee so it was quite a comeback.
While losing quite heavily in the semi final to the top seed, Jane Turner (Craigielaw), it looks increasing likely that Eilidh Watson will eventually outperform father Bobby who was a formidable junior golfer, winning the Scottish boys' match-play championship at North Berwick in 1973.
