BRITISH UNIVERSITY CHAMPIONSHIPS

Stirling University dominated the BUCS Student Tour Finals at West Lancs Golf Club today with Jack McDonald winning the men's title and Hannah McCook the women's title after a count back.
West of Scotland's Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) was 3rd in the Womens Finals.
In the women's championship Stirling's Hannah McCook won in an exciting finish. A Scotland girl international, the Nethy Bridge student's closing round of 70 was easily the best of the whole women's tournament and it gave her a final total of 305.
Eilidh Briggs (Stirling), the 2011 Scottish Under-18 girls champion, also finished on 306 with a 73, easily her best of the week, and the Scot was officially placed third after a card countback.
Defending champion and pre-tournament favourite Kelsey MacDonald (Stirling) injured an arm and retired after two rounds.
