Well done to P&K County Junior Lucy Moran (Milnathort) who enjoyed competing in the Scottish Golf's U14 Girls' Open Championships at Cardross at the weekend.  

Playing amongst an international field, Lucy's first round wasn't as low as she'd hoped but she improved on day 2 and played to her handicap, resulting in her handicap index coming down to 9.5 and helping her to move 10 places up the overall leaderboard.

Good effort Lucy !
