Hannah completes quick-fire title double in Ireland 


 
Hannah McCook has followed up her victory in last week's Welsh women's open amateur stroke play championship at Aberdovey by winning the Irish women's open amateur stroke play title at Co Louth today. Hannah had rounds of 81, 69 and 73 for an aggregate of one-over-par 223 at the par-74 lay-out. 

She won by two strokes from Romy Meekers of the Netherlands. She scored 81, 70 and 74. Curtis Cup selected players Ireland's Paula Grant (Lisburn) and England's Sophie Lamb (Clitheroe) finished joint third and joint fifth respectively. 
Had Hannah won the Welsh and Irish titles BEFORE the GB and I team of eight for the Curtis Cup match in New York State next month was selected, she would almost certainly had been in the line-up to play the Americans.
