KYLIE WALKER WINS HER FIRST LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR EVENT

Kylie Walker - LET Winner in the Netherlands

REPORT FROM LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR
By BETHAN CUTLER, LET Media Manager
Glasgow’s Kylie Walker earned her maiden Ladies European Tour victory at the Deloitte Ladies Open in the Netherlands after a dramatic three-player play-off against Nikki Campbell and Malene Jorgensen at The International near Amsterdam Airport.
Having led by two strokes after both the first and second rounds, the Scot shot 69, 72 and 72 in the three-round event to tie with Campbell and Jorgensen on 213, six-under-par.
The 27-year-old from Glasgow then sealed the wire-to-wire win - worth 37,500 euros to her - by holing a birdie putt of 20 feet on the second extra hole, the 506-yard par-5 18th, playing over water.

“Amazing; absolutely brilliant. I’m delighted,” said Walker. “I’ve been in play-offs to get in the British Open and US Open but not to win on the LET. I was just really trying to win and I kept giving myself chances and not quite making the putts, although I did putt quite well. A lot of them looked good and didn’t go in, so I’m delighted to win in the end.”

On the second play-off hole, Jorgensen made par before Walker perfectly judged her birdie putt. “With the crowd erupting it almost overwhelmed me, with everyone screaming,” said Walker, whose previous best finish in five years on the LET was a tie for fourth at the 2011 Prague Masters.

Walker had a chance to win in regulation play after reaching the 18th green in two shots but three putted from across the green.

Her second round began well when she made a birdie putt of 15 feet on the second hole, but she dropped a shot on the par-5 third, before making her second birdie of the day on the seventh. From there she came home with 11 straight steady pars.

Earlier in the day, Campbell fired five birdies in her first eight holes and overtook Walker with her birdie on the sixth before picking up another shot on the par-5 eighth. However the 33-year-old Australian three-putted on 15 to drop back into a share of the lead.

Denmark’s Jorgensen set the clubhouse target after firing a flawless six-under 67 in warm and sunny conditions and after ending second in Turkey, she finished runner-up for the second LET event in a row.
Three Scots finished in the top 20.
Vikki Laing from Musselburgh earned 5,000 Euros for a share of ninth place with scores of 71, 77 and 69 for two-under-par 217.
Edinburgh-born Sally Watson earned 3,917 for a joint 13th place finish on level par 219 with scores of 74, 72 and 73.
Kelsey Macdonald and Heather MacRae tied for 34th place on 223 to earn 2,100 euros each. Kelsey score 75, 75 and 73; Heather 75, 72 and 76.
Carly Booth tied for 52nd place on 226 with scores of 75, 75 and 73. She earned 1,125 Euros.

GABRIELLE WINS AT THE 19TH IN CLASSIC 100th FINAL

Connie and Gabrielle - Photo courtesy of Colin Farquharson

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
colin@scottishgolfview.com

Gabrielle MacDonald, 21 year-old St Andrews University student from Edinburgh, beat the top seed, 17-year-old Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies) at the 19th hole in a 4hr 6min marathon final climax to the 100th Scottish women's amateur golf championship at Prestwick Golf Club, birthplace of the Open.
Craigielaw Golf Club member Gabrielle was the 10th of the 32 qualifiers for the match-play stages so she entered the championship match very much the underdog against Connie who marked her debut in the event by being the leading qualifier and beating Curtis Cup debutante Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) in the semi-finals (Eilidh's older sister Megan lost to MacDonald in the other penultimate tie.
It was a classic match-play final with first one player, then the other holding the whiphand.
Gabrielle, who fancies finding out, once she has graduated, whether or not she is a good enough golfer to make the grade in the pro ranks, was in the driving seat after nine holes - two up, after shaking off a potentially demoralsing double-bogey 6 start to birdie the third, eighth and ninth
Young Jaffrey, runner-up in the recent "Helen Holm" Scottish stroke play at Troon, then had her purple patch to win the 10th, 11th and 12th, the latter two holes with birdies, to transform her position into a one-hole lead.
But MacDonald, who said later she never felt under real pressure at any time, square the contest with a pitch-and-putt par 4 at the 13th and then birdied the 16th with a pitching wedge approach and an 8ft putt to go one up.
Jaffrey, who enrols at Kansas State University in August, was not yet to admit defeat against an opponent who would not be subued. Connie birdied the 17th to draw level again. With the tension mounting, MacDonald, with nerves of steel, holed a 5ft putt at the 18th for a half in 4.
Jaffrey had completed the 18 holes in an approximate 75 (one over par) to MacDonald's 76
Banishing memories of her double bogey 6 at the opening hole around four hours earlier, MacDonald produced a cast-iron 4 to a bogey 5 by Jaffrey who had missed the green left with her approach and had to pitch over a bunker.
"I just ran out of shots," said Connie when it was over. "I'm a little bit down, having had such a great week and not being able to finish it off with a win but I'll get over it."
MacDonald said: "I was always comfortable and just tried to play my own game, hit the fairways, stay out of trouble and keep hitting greens. I enjoyed it immensely but I feel a little bit sorry for Connie who has had an outstanding week. At 17 she is a great prospect for Scottish ladies golf to have."
Next year's Scottish women's amateur championship will be played at Monifieth.

Result:
FINAL - Gabrielle MacDonald (Craigielaw) beat Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies) at 19th.

CONNIE SETS UP THE CHANCE OF HISTORY BY REACHING THE FINAL OF THE SCOTTISH AT PRESTWICK

Report from the SLGA Website
Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies) set her sights on history after she defeated Eildih Briggs (Kilmacolm) by 2 and 1 in the semi-final of the Scottish Ladies’ Championship at Prestwick.

In the 100th staging of the Championship, the 17-year-old has the chance to become the youngest ever winner and the first to hold both the Scottish Girls’ and Scottish Ladies’ titles.

Standing in her way is Gabrielle MacDonald (Craigielaw). In the semi-finals, the 21-year-old ended the hopes of the older of the Briggs’ sisters, Megan, with a 3 and 2 victory.

Jaffrey, the leading strokeplay qualifier, had beaten Lesley Atkins (Gullane) by 2 and 1 in the quarter-finals and she was never behind in the last four match against Briggs, who will be flying to the States on Monday to represent GB and Ireland in next month’s Curtis Cup.

The teenager’s short game was the key, the highlight being a 45-foot birdie putt from off the green at the sixth.

“It’s amazing to go through,” said Jaffrey. “I was hoping to make the semi-finals this week so to get into the final is a bonus. Eildih is a great player and I knew it was going to be a tough match.”

Last month, Jaffrey was runner-up in the Helen Holm Scottish Open Strokeplay Championship and she attributes the great run of form to hard work and determination.

“I had a setback a couple of years ago when I missed out on some teams.” She explained. “But then I started working really hard with a psychologist and my coach George Boswell. I was determined to prove some people wrong.”

MacDonald won the battle of the St Andrews University students in the last eight with a 3 and 2 win over Ailsa Summers (Carnoustie) and closed out her match with Briggs with wins at the 13th, 15th and 16th.

With her boyfriend and fellow Geography student, Guy Dalziel, as her caddie, MacDonald admitted that her second round win over Clara Young and then the triumph over Summers were a huge confidence boost.

“I play Ailsa a lot at St Andrews but this is the first time I have beaten her,” she said. “Everyone at the university is great and I get a lot of support. “

Completing a good day for Troon Ladies’ teenagers, 16-year-old Emma Hale won the Clark Rosebowl, defeating Carol Whyte (Milngavie) by 2 and1 in the final.

CONNIE AND THE BRIGGS SISTERS THROUGH TO SEMI FINALS AT PRESTWICK

BRIGGS SISTERS THROUGH TO SEMI- FINALS ALONG WITH CONNIE JAFFREY AND GABRIELLE MACDONALD AT PRESTWICK
Thanks go Colin Farquharson for the report

The Briggs sisters from the Kilmacolm club are still on course to meet in the final of the 100th Scottish women's amateur championship at Prestwick on Saturday morning.
In the quarter-finals on a bright but cool morning Curtis Cup debutante and Stirling PE student Eilidh, the No 4 seed, won by 2 and 1 against Lesley Atkins (Gullane), while older sister Megan, the 2009 champion and a Glasgow solicitor, reached the last four with a 2 and 1 win over Rachel Walker (Dumfries and County).
Top seed and last year's Scottish U18 girls champion Connie Jaffrey is still there. She will meet Eilidh in the first semi-final after scoring a 2 and 1 come-from-behind win over Lauren Whyte (St Regulus).
Megan Briggs will play St Andrews student Gabrielle MacDonald (Craigielaw) in the other semi-final.
The latter knocked out the university team-mate and No 2 seed, Ailsa Summers (Carnoustie) by 3 and 2.

CONNIE STILL ON COURSE IN THE MATCHPLAY STAGES OF THE SCOTTISH CHAMPIONSHIP AT PRESTWICK

ATKINS OUSTS DEFENDING CHAMPION ALYSON MCKECHIN
From the SLGA Website

Lesley Atkins (Gullane) knocked out defending champion, Alyson McKechin (Elderslie), by 2 and 1 to make it through to the quarter-finals of the Scottish Ladies’ Championship at Prestwick.
The 19-year-old claimed it was a career best win and her reward is a last eight match against Kilmacolm’s Eilidh Briggs, who will be playing for GB and Ireland in next month’s Curtis Cup at St Louis Country Club.
Two down at the turn, Atkins, who is in her first year at Florida International University, drew level at the 14th and then crucially made a birdie at the 16th to edge one ahead. A bogey at the 17th was good enough to win both the hole and the match.
“I was nervous at the start and towards the end,” she admitted. “I’m loving my time in Florida and definitely feel my best golf is yet to come.”

Teenager Connie Jaffrey, the leading strokeplay qualifier, continued an impressive run through to the quarter-finals.  Level par in the first round, the 17-year-old Scottish Girls’ Champion defeated her Troon Ladies’ clubmate Jane Finnie by 6 and 5 and was then three under par in ousting Hannah McCook (Grantown-On-Spey) by 5 and 4 at the last 16 stage.
In the second round, Jaffrey won the first two holes in par and then had a sparkling run – birdie, birdie, eagle – from the seventh to turn for home with the five hole advantage. The three at the ninth was quite straightforward – a drive, rescue club to five feet and a single putt.
In the quarter-finals, Jaffrey will face the 2012 Scottish Girls’ Champion, Lauren Whyte – the St Regulus youngster advanced with a 4 and 2 win over Milngavie’s Nichola Ferguson.
Megan Briggs, the older of the Kilmacolm sisters, kept up her hopes of repeating her 2009 triumph with a comfortable 5 and 3 victory over Kate McIntosh (Broomieknowe) and she now meets Rachel Walker (Dumfries and County).
The last of the quarter-finals is Ailsa Summers (Carnoustie) versus Gabrielle MacDonald (Craigielaw), who won an all East Lothian tie 2 and 1 against last year’s beaten finalist, Clara Young (North Berwick).

CONNIE JAFFREY IS THE LEADING QUALIFIER IN THE SCOTTISH WOMEN'S AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP AT PRESTWICK

From the SLGA Website
Connie Jaffrey added a 76 to her first round 73 and led the qualifiers on one over par 149 at the 100th staging of the Scottish Ladies’ Championship at Prestwick.

The Troon Ladies’ member maintained her four shot overnight lead with Carnoustie’s Ailsa Summers moving into second place after a best of Championship 72.

In joint third place on 154 were a strong trio of defending champion Alyson McKechin (77) and the Briggs’ sisters from Kilmacolm , Megan and Eildih.

Megan, the 2009 Champion at Southerness, posted a 75, while Eildih, who will represent GB and Ireland at next month’s Curtis Cup, shot 76.

Elderslie’s McKechin, who won the title at Longniddry 12 months ago, had three birdies on a near perfect golfing day on the south Ayrshire coast.

Jaffrey, the Scottish Girls’ Champion, highlighted her round with four birdies and the pick of the bunch came at the short second where she came close to a hole in one.

“I hit the ball to a foot and then did it again for another of my birdies at the 17th,” said the 17-year-old who is playing in the Championship for a first time. “I was delighted to maintain my four shot lead and t’s a good feeling to head the strokeplay qualifiers.”

Summers’ hole of the day was the long eighth – she made eagle – and she also had a handful of birdies in the two under round.

Eilidh Briggs was runner-up at Machrihanish three years ago and she had three birdies to finish among the top seeds. “The conditions were definitely easier,” said the 21-year-old Stirling University student. “The wind wasn’t nearly so fierce.”

Thirty-one players on 169 and better made it straight into the matchplay knock-out and Jane Finnie (Troon Ladies) clamed the 32nd and final spot by defeating beat Carol Whyte (Milngavie) at the second hole of a sudden-death play-off.

Having halved the first extra hole (the 15th) in bogey fives, Whyte hit her second shot out of bounds at the 18th and eventually conceded the hole. Finnie’s reward is a first round match against clubmate Jaffrey.

CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH PLAY DRAW
CLARK ROSEBOWL DRAW

WEST OF SCOTLAND'S CONNIE JAFFREY LEADS THE FIELD AFTER THE FIRST ROUND

Connie Jaffrey - Photo courtesy of Colin Farquharson

Seventeen-year-old Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies), the highest world-ranked player in the field of 110, took Prestwick's tough and tricky links by the scruff of the neck and shook out an excellent round of one-under-par 73 today in the first qualifying round of the 100th Scottish women's amateur championship.
With a misty morning giving way to a blustery wind, there was no prospect of anyone else in the field getting close to the Kilwinning teenager's score over the first 18 holes.
Runner-up in the "Helen Holm" at Troon last month, Jaffrey showed her class over a course that had the clubhouse awash with horror tales of 8s, 9s and even 10s.
You might think that Connie's local knowledge of this particular Ayrshire links was the basis for the skill with which she plotted her way past the out-of-bounds burn, the cavernous bunkers and the punishing rough which has apparently sprouted considerably over the past
couple of weeks.
In fact, Prestwick is a members' course and young Jaffrey has not played it all that many times in the past.
This is her debut in the Scottish ladies' championship and she marked it with the following figures:
OUT: 534 535 644 - 39 (one over par)
IN: 524 343 445 - 34 (two under par)
She had birdies at three par-5s on the way out - the third, eighth and ninth.
Then she had a marvellous run from 11th of birdie-birdie-par-birdie.
"I'm very pleased with a 73 because I bogeyed four of the first seven holes where my course management was not as good as it should have been and I didn't hole anything," said Connie.
"But I got up and down for a birdie 4 from about 70yds out and that seemed to settle me."
Next best on the leaderboard on the 77 mark are last year's finalists from Longniddry, defending champion Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) and runner-up Clara Young (North Berwick), as well as Kate McIntosh (Broomieknowe).
Curtis Cup GB and I selection Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) had a 78 and her older sister Megan, a former national champion, a 79 --  despite having a 9 at the the 3rd hole and a double bogey at the 9th hole -- she then had an inward half of 35 bettered only by Connie Jaffrey.

EILIDH v CONNIE WOULD BE DREAM FINAL FOR WEST OF SCOTLAND GOLF FANS

By COLIN FARQUHARSON at Prestwick
Colin@scottishgolfview.com
Curtis Cup debutante Eilidh Briggs is about a 6-4 favourite to win the 100th staging of the Scottish women's amateur golf championship this week at Prestwick's ancient links, the birthplace of the Open championship from 1860 to 1870.

But it is one of the quirks of the World Amateur Golf Rankings - which run in 12-monthly cycles - that the Kilmacolm player is "only" the third best Scot after the most recent revision.
Aberdonian Gemma Dryburgh, a student at Tulane University, New Orleans, is the highest ranked female Scot in the world and, like Briggs, will be making her Curtis Cup debut against the Americans at St Louis, Missouri from June 6 to 8. But Dryburgh is still in America, and will be playing in the upcoming NCAA Division 1 women's team championship.
But the World No 2 in Scottish terms is in the field of 110, teeing off in the first stroke play qualifying round at Prestwick on Tuesday morning is Ayrshire-born and bred Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies) who finished second to England's Annabel Dimmock in the Helen Holm Scottish women's amateur stroke play at Troon last month.

Connie Jaffrey

Connie had a stellar year in 2013 when she won the Ayrshire county title, the Paul Lawrie Scottish schoolgirls championship and the Scottish U18 girls championship.
As one SLGA official, who shall remain nameless. said on the eve of the event: "Eilidh Briggs versus Connie Jaffrey would be a terrific final on Saturday."
She can say that again. They could probably sell admission tickets, standing-room only if that were how things workd out this week.
But golf - and possibly more so in girls/women's golf for some reason - things don't always work out the way they should.
Only 12 months ago in the championship hosted by Longniddry Golf Club, leading qualifier Jess Meek (Carnoustie Ladies) was beaten in the second round and No 2 seed Rachel Walker (Dumfries and Co) lost in the first round of the match-play.
Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) beat teenager Clara Young (North Berwick) in a downpour for last year's final.
Alyson is here again this week, keeping her plans to turn professional very close to her chest.
"I don't know if this will be may last Scottish ladies championship. This will be a decision I will make when the time is correct and aligned to my plans," she said.
"My big incentive this week is to follow the example of Anne Laing who was the last player to win this title two years in a row and she won for the second time here at Prestwick!"
Anne Laing, incidentally, is at Prestwick to play solely in the past champions' event staged in conjunction with the stroke play qualifying rounds. She will not take part in the championship proper.
Eilidh Briggs has been Scottish U18 girls champion but has yet to win the women's championship. She reached the final at Machrihanish in 2011.
"I'm looking forward to a good week with a good field and a traditional links course. Just hope the weather is kind
to us," said Stirling PE student Eilidh. "With regards to the Curtis Cup, I'm very excited about going over to the States for what will be an unbelievable experience."
Eilidh's big sister, Megan, won the "Scottish" at Southerness in 2009 and is also in the Prestwick field.
It was the youngest player in the field who won the very first Scottish women's amateur championship over the
Old Course, St Andrews in 1903 - 19-year-old Alexa Glover.
Could the 100th staging also be won by the youngest in the Prestwick field?

Not such a long stretch of coincidence for 14-year-old Shannon McWilliam (Aboyne), pictured left by Cal Carson Golf Agency, won the Scottish Under-14 girls title last year and only a few weeks ago became the youngest ever winner of the Aberdeenshire women's county championship.
Another leading Aberdeenshire contender should be Rachel Polson (Peterculter), just home from Florida Tech University. She lost to Clara Young in last year's semi-finals at Longniddry.
If you believe in pointers to players who are going to have a good run, put your money on Rachel. Last year she played badly in the Peterculter women's open immediately prior to the "Scottish" but then rose to the occasion in the national championship the following week.
Last weekend Polson again had, by her standards, a poor performance in the Peterculter event. History about to repeat itself?
Northern Counties will be hoping their new champion Alison Bartlett (Royal Dornoch), a senior international player, carries on where she left off in their recent county championship. Alison is also the Northern Counties secretary. It takes a bit of organising to run a competition, play in it - and win it, as Mrs Bartlett did.
From Angus the standard bearers should be Jess Meek, back home after her first year at the University of Missouri, St Andrews student Ailsa Summers and Heather Munro, one of a clutch of bright young Scottish prospects who will be enrolling at US colleges in August.
From Fyfe, expect US-bound Lauren Whyte to do well and Clara Young to keep the Lothians well to the fore.
The 32 leading players after the 36-hole stroke-playing opening to the championship will go into match-play on Thursday morning. The next 16 will contest the Clark Rosebowl match-play competition
