Shaeen Ahmad, Tricia Chillas and Shona Cunningham leading qualifiers at Murrayshall

Shaeen Ahmad produced a grandstand finish to clinch a narrow victory in the women’s event at the Scottish Medal Finals Central 1 event at a wet Murrayshall Country House Hotel & Golf Club in Perthshire on Sunday 23rd May 2021

The 18-handicapper from Balmore Golf Club was level par when she stepped onto the tee at the 127-yard par-3 18th hole but holed out in two for a net one and a two under par net round of 69. 

On a day marred by increasingly inclement weather that was enough to give Ahmad a single shot win over Tricia Chillas (Stirling) and Shona Cunningham (Mortonhall). 

All three players qualify for the Scottish Medal Finals Grand Final at The Duke’s, St Andrews, where they will be joined by Janette Bowman (Auchterarder), Carolyn Smith (Dunblane New) and Kathy McIlwaine who shared fourth place with two over par net rounds of 73.
