EILIDH WATSON WINS THE COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP!

Eilidh Watson won the P&K Ladies' County Championship at Auchterarder today. She triumphed over Kirsty Brodie  on 19th hole in the final to take the title.


Eilidh  reached the final after she beat Hannah Hislop  in the quarter-finals by 8&7 and defeated fellow P&K teammate Laura Walker  by 1 Up in the semi-finals.

In the final, Eilidh went three up early on, but Kirsty rallied to be only 1 down at the turn. After a closely fought start to back 9, the match was all square when Kirsty holed a great putt on 16th. The 17th was halved with birdie 4's. The 18th was halved again to take the match down the 19th. Eilidh had an amazing drive on 19th, chipped to within 5 feet of the pin and holed out for a birdie to clinch the championship.


In the Handicap Championship,  Laurie Brown  won the final after a tough nip & tuck battle against Carol Lambie . There was never more than 1 hole in it all the way round. After being all square playing the 18th, Laurie held her nerve with the last putt to win the match by 1 up.

Each final was played in great spirit and friendly atmosphere.

A huge thank you to Auchterarder Golf Club for hosting the Championships this year.
