| Alex Glennie 2011 Scottish Seniors Strokeplay Champion |
Like every golf course in the country, Kemnay is very, very wet after days, even weeks of rain and was playing every inch of its length today.
Alex Glennie (pictured above), Ayrshire county champion in 2004 and the 2011 Scottish Seniors Strokeplay champion did not have a birdie on her card but 16 pars and bogeys at two long holes, the 15th and 16th, represented a very good day's "work" for a two-over-par 73 (37-38).
She will start Wednesday's second and final round with a two-shot lead from Jill Harrison (Cruden Bay) and Mary Smith (Tain).
Noreen Fenton (Dunbar), who had an 81 today, is the defending matchplay champion but is now a selector and will not take part in the 2nd qualifying round.
