Huge congratulations to Jen Saxton (Dunfermline) who put together a stunning final six holes to win the St Rule Trophy at St Andrews today.
Scotland's Jen Saxton made it three in a row for the Scots after she won the St Rule Trophy, at St Andrews today.

The two previous winners of the St Rule Trophy were Scotland's Hannah Darling in 2021 and Hazel MacGarvie in 2019. There was no play in 2020.

Three-under-par for the front nine, Saxton took the lead at the turn before losing it in dramatic style with a quadruple bogey at the par 3 11th. All looked lost, but she fought back with a remakable run of three birdies from the 13th, an eagle at the 17th and a par at the 18th to close with a four-under-par 72 for the round and a winning nine-under-par total of 127 for the championship.

Reflecting on her win at St Andrews, Jen Saxton said:

“This is definitely at the top... It’s great to play at St Andrews, the Home of Golf, and especially just before The Open with the grandstands up. There’s nothing quite like it.”

Saxton adds her name to a distinguished list of top lady amateur golfers, many of whom have gone on to enjoy success on the Ladies European Tour, notably Annika Sorenstam and Catriona Matthew.

Last year’s amateur girls’ champion, Hannah Darling (Broomieknowe), and women’s champion, Louise Duncan (West Kilbride), are among the eight strong team heading across the Atlantic in June aiming to regain the trophy held by Team USA since 2016.

It is the second call-up for both Scots who were part of last year’s defeated team in Conwy, Wales.

The GB&I Team:
Hannah Darling (18, Broomieknowe, Scotland)
Louise Duncan (22, West Kilbride, Scotland)
Annabell Fuller (19, Roehampton, England)
Charlotte Heath (20, Huddersfield, England)
Caley McGinty (21, Knowle, England)

GRACE CRAWFORD WINS THE R&A GIRLS’ U16 AMATEUR

Huge congratulations to Scotland's Grace Crawford (West Links Junior) who won The R&A Girls’ U16 Amateur Championship in style on Sunday.

Scotland's Grace Crawford, who won the Helen Holm Scottish Women’s Open at Royal Troon last week, finished with an eagle to claim The R&A Girls’ U16 Amateur Championship by 4 shots at Enville.

After rounds of 73 & 75, Crawford held a two-shot lead heading into the final 18-holes. Despite a shaky start, the Scot shot 72 to finish with a four-over-par total of 220 and win comfortably from England’s Isla McDonald O’Brien (72) and Poland's Kunga Kusmierska (74) who shared second on 224.

Crawford, who is mentored by the two-time winning Solheim Cup captain Catriona Matthew, is the second Scot to win the Girls Under-16 Amateur after Broomieknowe’s Hannah Darling claimed victory in the inaugural edition in 2018 at Fulford.

The 15-year-old Scot from North Berwick has made her final appearance in the Girls’ U16 Amateur having first started playing in it aged 12.

After her win, Grace Crawford said:
“I feel amazing. I think this is a really special one for me. I’ve played in this championship since I was 12, so it is really nice to finally get the win in my last year."

"It was an up-and-down round, but I was just enjoying it as this is what we work for. It was fun. Winning last week gave me a lot of confidence coming off of it and I’ve managed to do it again."

The top four players have gained an exemption into the Girls’ Amateur Championship at Carnoustie in August.

P&K SPOTY AWARDS - TEAM OF THE YEAR SHORTLIST

Fingers crossed for our Perth & Kinross Ladies' County Team who have been shortlisted for the P&K SPOTY 2021 Team of the Year award.
The winners of the Perth & Kinross Sports Personality of the Year (SPOTY) Awards will be announced this Friday (4 March 2022).

The top three nominations for the 2021 Team of the Year Award are:

🏌🏿‍♀️ Perth & Kinross County Ladies Golf Team (P&KLCGT)
"The P&KLCG Team qualified for the Scottish Women’s County Finals (the most prestigious event in the golfing calendar for Ladies County Golf) by winning the North Division Intercounty Championships in June 2021. In what was to be a thrilling three days of golf, the team then won the Scottish Women's County Finals at Forres in August for the 1st time in 68 years!"

🐴 Pegasus Vaulting Group
"Pegasus Vaulting Group is the most northerly Vaulting Group in Scotland who train in Killiecrankie. After winning the British Championships in 2019 (Senior 1 star event) Covid-19 meant that the team would struggle with the loss of team members, and the ability to train on horses together, as well as all events in 2020 being cancelled. As restrictions eased, the team competed again in 2021, winning the Scottish Championships in September, and then again in October at the British Championships."

Perth High School Under 15 Girls Football Team
"Perth High School Girls football team capped off a perfect season by winning the under-15 Scottish Schools FA Shield in June 2021. It was the first time since 2003 that a girl's football team from the school had won a national trophy. The team - who barely trained together during a Covid disrupted year - won several rounds before scoring an extra time winner to beat SFA football academy St Johns RC from Dundee in the semi-final."

Also shortlisted for a 2021 SPOTY award is former P&K Ladies' County team member Eve Muirhead (Pitlochry) in the Sports Personality category and County member Moira Lumby (King James VI) in the Volunteer category.
