JILLIAN FARELL REACHES SCOTTISH GIRLS FINAL

Jillian Farrell (Photo courtesy of Scottish Golf)

Professional's daughter Jillian Farrell (Cardross), the No 2 seed, will play the fourth-seeded Hannah Darling (Broomieknowe) in Wednesday's 18-hole final of the Scottish U18 girls' amateur golf championship at Scotscraig Golf Club, Fife.

In today's (Tuesday) semi-finals, Darling KO'd the leading qualifier Louise Duncan (West Kilbride) by 2 and 1, birdieing the 11th, 15th and 17th to win a match with level par figures after being two down at the turn.

Farrell beat Shannon McWilliam (Aboyne), also by 2 and 1, after winning two of the first three holes and being two up at the turn. McWilliam, who bogeyed four of the first eight holes, squared the contest with a birdie at the 10th and a par at the 12th.

But Farrell countered with a birdie 2 at the 13th to regain the lead and she went two up again with a par at the 15th. The remaining holes were halved.

Farrell was roughly one over par at the finish.

WEST KILBRIDE'S LOUISE DUNCAN LEADS THE FIELD IN THE GIRLS AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

In the Scottish Girls Amateur Championship - (over Drumoig and Scotscraig)  there was an impressive leader with West Kilbride’s Louise Duncan setting the pace on four-under-par 69. Duncan actually fired eight birdies in a topsy-turvy round, before having to settle for -4.

Duncan leads by five from a trio of players on one over, namely Kirsty Brodie from Strathmore, Hannah Darling (Broomieknowe) and another in-form player, Jillian Farrell from Cardross.

Darling’s effort featured four birdies and an eagle on the 11th and she said: “A lot of putts dropped today which I was really happy about. To win this week would be my aim, but I just want to do as well as I can. If I play my my own game and it’s not good enough, at least I’ve tried my best.”

The top 16 progress to the knockout stages in the girls’ event, in both scratch and nett championships.
