Grace Crawford is your new Scottish Girls’ U14 Champion winning the first playoff hole with an eagle 3
Sofia Barroso Sá and Grace Crawford were today crowned the winners at the Scottish Girls’ U16 & U14 Open Championship at Elgin Golf Club today.
In the U14 section, it was Scot Grace Crawford from Gullane Golf Club who came out on top after a playoff with Kasumi Tran of Wales.
Crawford, who was part of the Scotland Girls’ Home International team just last week, reached the turn in three-under, level par overall, to close the overnight deficit and reach the top of the leaderboard going into the final nine.
After five straight pars to start the back-nine, Crawford took a two-shot lead into the final three holes over her playing partner Tran.
However, Tran birdied 16 and 17 to take a one-shot lead going down 18 but Crawford bounced back from a bogey at 16, birdieing the par-5 18th to force a playoff.
The players headed back down the 1st and it was Crawford who secured the victory with a stunning eagle three.
Speaking to Scottish Golf after picking up the U14 trophy, Crawford said, “I’m very excited to win. Coming down 18 I was just thinking make birdie and see what happens.
“When it’s a playoff it’s whoever wins, wins and thankfully this time it was me.
“Over the two days, I felt I played very well. I really like this course and I thought I played really solid, especially today.”View all of the final scores from the Scottish Girls’ U16 & U14 Championship at Elgin here.
