Scots Hazel and Shannon finish 3rd and 4th in Ireland

Team Winners - Chloe Goadby, Hazel MacGarvie and Shannon McWilliam

​it was a case of history repeating itself today at Co. Louth Golf Club as Lily May Humphreys captured the Irish Women’s Open Stroke Play Championship on Sunday just seven days after securing the Welsh Women’s Open Stroke Play at Royal St. David’s. Just 12 months ago the same feat was achieved by Hannah McCook (Scotland) who now competes on the Ladies European Access Tour. 

Humphreys began the day with a three shot lead over Hazel MacGarvie (Scotland) and has her tee time approached, conditions determined the strategy for the day.

“The aim today was to try and just make my pars and take opportunities for birdies when they came – I knew the opportunities weren’t going to be many given the wind so it was about not giving shots away. I did a pretty good job of that on the front nine  - I hit three greens and was only one over par so I was quite impressed with myself! I hit eight greens on the back nine which helped settle me and it was a lot less stressful coming in.”

A one-under 73 final round was good for a six shot advantage over Romy Meekers (NED) who finishes runner-up for the second consecutive year. 

While conditions proved challenge for some, the best score of the day came from Shannon McWilliam (Scotland), who finished fourth overall with a final round of  72.
