MILNGAVIE'S ANNA TELFER WINS THE SCOTTISH SENIOR'S STROKE PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

Anna with her trophy -- Courtesy of Janice Paterson
West Vets Captain Anna Telfer (Milngavie) is the new Scottish Senior women's amateur stroke-play champion. 
She won the title in tough conditions at West Linton, despite a second-round 79 for an 11-over-par 36-hole total of 155.
Two behind at halfway, the key to Anna's final round was a brace of birdie 2s. The first came at the short second and the other came vitally at the par three 17th.
The late birdie secured a one shot victory over Heather Anderson (Blairgowrie), who shot a 78 and is now set to defend the matchplay title over the next two days at the same venue. 
Anderson claimed the knock-out crown at Kemnay last year and the top 16 from the Strokeplay Championship now advance to the head to head battles.
West Linton member Margaret Tough and Fiona de Vries  (St Rule) tied for third place on 157 in the strokeplay following final rounds of 78 and 80 respectively.
Kathleen Webster (Ladybank), who had also birdied the second and 17th to lead after the first round on 74 – the low score of the Championship – closed with three bogeys and had to settle for fifth place after an 84.
