Pamela Pretswell is the West of Scotland Champion
Bothwell Castle’s Pamela Pretswell lived up to her rating as the backmarker in the West of Scotland women’s amateur championship at Prestwick today.
The +2 player, who won the Swiss women’s open amateur title last summer, won by four strokes with a pair of 74s, against the CSS of 76 and 77, for a total of 148 in very windy and cold but mainly dry weather.
With no university exams clashing this year, Pamela will make her debut this month in the Scottish women's championship at Southerness ... and on this form she must be one of the favourites.
Runner-up at Prestwick on 152 with scores of 79 and 73 was former Scotland international Sara Bishop (Windyhill).
Pretswell, Susan Wood and Lesley Lloyd won the County Shield for Lanarkshire, while Renfrewshire (Eilidh Briggs, Alyson McKechin and Natasha Qayum) won the new Junior County Silver Salver, presented by the West Association.
