Freya Constable |
The Midlothian County Championship Final was s the younger generation final between Freya Constable (Prestonfield) and Emma Morrison (Gullane) who both sped round 17 holes in 2 hours without it affecting their golf.
Freya got off to a head start from the 1st hole and would continue to lead most of the way. Emma was hot on her heels in the front 9 but Freya had the edge in the back 9.
A couple of missed opportunities from Emma with short putts at 13 and 14, which, if made, could have resulted in all square through 14, let Freya lead by 2 holes. Freya looked comfortable with her lead but Emma came right back at her with a magical eagle 3 at the 16th.
Freya stepped aside to give Emma the honour on the tee and they both reached the 17th green in 2. Freya looking for a half would let her first putt slide by the hole by 5 feet, but as cool as a cucumber she stepped up without any fuss and slotted the return putt to win 2/1.
The Champion necklace was presented on the 17th green to Freya by previous (2019) Champion Louise Fraser. Well done to both players getting to The Championship Final, a fabulous achievement by the youngsters and congratulations to Freya Constable, The Midlothian 2021 Champion.
