Drumpellier's Susan Wood pictured left won the Lanarkshire Women's County Golf Championship for the first time with a 3 and 2 victory over Lesley Lloyd (Hayston) in the final at Lanark Golf Club today.
Lloyd, the No 5 qualifier, toppled the No 1 seed Angela Devine (Hamilton) by 3 and 1 in the morning semi-fnals while Wood, the No 7 qualifier, beat Janice Paterson (Drumpellier), seeded sixth, by 5 and 4.
The more experienced Lloyd, county champion in 1997 and playing in the final for a sixth time, took an early two-hole lead over Wood in the final but could not hold on to it. Wood gradually mastered her opponent and won the title on 16th green.
