CONNIE JAFFREY IS RUNNER UP AT THE HELEN HOLM
Connie Jaffrey --(Photo Courtesy of the SLGA) |
English teenager Annabel Dimmock shot a final round 73 and scored a start to finish victory with an 11 under par 214 total in the Helen Holm Scottish Open Strokeplay Championship at Troon.
Connie Jaffrey, the Scottish Girls’ Champion and a Troon Ladies’ member, was also in impressive from, closing with a 71 to finish in outright second place and three shots behind on eight under par 217.
Five ahead after rounds of 70 and 71 over Troon Portland, Dimmock, a 17-year-old from Wentworth, had increased her lead to six by the time she reached the turn in two under par 35 in the final round over over the famous Royal Troon.
She then dropped shots at tenth and the long 11th to give Jaffrey a glint of hope. But more birdies at the 12th and 15th helped seal the victory.
Connie Jaffrey, also 17, was delighted with her runner-up finish. “That was my best ever round over Royal Troon and I played really steady today,” she said after her six birdie round. “I went out thinking I had a chance to win and I got close. This rates as the best result of my career.”
Jaffrey will be playing in the Scottish Ladies’ Amateur Championship at Prestwick next month and will then defend the Scottish Girls’ Championship at Dumfries and County in May before heading to the US and a golf scholarship at Kansas State University.

WEST OF SCOTLAND'S CONNIE JAFFREY IS STILL IN THE HUNT AT THE HELEN HOLM AFTER ROUND 2
FROM THE SLGA WEBSITE ---
England’s 17-year-old Annabel Dimmock showed her desire to clinch a place in GB and Ireland’s Curtis Cup team by taking a five shot lead with a round to play in the Helen Holm Scottish Open Strokeplay Championship at Troon.
But Connie Jaffrey made sure that there will be plenty local interest in Sunday’s final round over Troon’s Old Course as she birdied the long 18th over Troon Portland to stand in a tie for second place.
The reigning Scottish Girls’ Champion and a Troon Ladies’ member, Connie Jaffrey had three birdies and an eagle at the long ninth in a 72 to finish on four under par 146.
Dimmock was a one shot leader after an opening 70 and the Wentworth teenager added a second day 71 that was a real mixed bag with six birdies, four bogeys and the highlight of an eagle three at the long sixth.
On nine under par 141, Dimmock led by the handful of strokes from Jaffrey and France’s 19-year-old Anaelle Carnet, who had an eagle at the ninth in a second round one under par 74.
Lauren Whyte, the 2012 Scottish Girls’ Champion, bolstered the home challenge by taking a share of fourth place on three under par 147. The St Andrews youngster had a level par 75.
Elderslie’s Alyson McKechin, the Scottish Amateur Champion, finished second last year and was tied for third and alongside Whyte on 72 after the opening day. But she sipped back into a tie for tenth on one under par after a 77. Grantown-On-Spey’s Hannah McCook was on the same mark following a 74.
For all the Scots, the aim is to become the first home winner since Heather Stirling in 2002. For Dimmock, it is a place in the GB and Ireland team to defend the Curtis Cup at St Louis Country Club in June that is the added incentive.

HELEN HOLM SCOTTISH WOMEN'S OPEN AMATEUR STROKE PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP
CLICK HERE for Live Scoring
From the SLGA Website
MCKECHIN AND WHYTE HEAD HOME CHALLENGE
England’s fast rising star Annabel Dimmock led the way with a first round five under par 70 while Scot Alyson McKechin again showed her liking for the Helen Holm Scottish Open Strokeplay Championship at Troon Portland.
Elderslie’s Alyson McKechin, the Scottish Amateur Champion, finished second last year and a flawless opening three under par 72 put her in a four way share of third place that also included another Scot, Lauren Whyte.
Connie Jaffrey, the reigning Scottish Girls' Champion and Troon Ladies' Club member, was the third Scot under par on 74.
Renfrewshire’s Alyson McKechin birdied the long sixth and 15th and then completed the hat-trick with a three at the 17th.
Whyte, the 2012 Scottish Girls’ Champion from St Regulus, had three birdies and then saved her best for last with an eagle three at the closing hole.
Dimmock made her move with three birdies in a row from the turn. Winner of the Jones Doherty Challenge Cup in Florida earlier this year – Scot Kelsey MacDonald was her caddie – the Wentworth teenager had seven birdies to take a one shot lead over Delamere Forest’s Gemma Clews.
Dimmock was a member of last year’s English Girls’ and Senior Home International teams and if she can continue the form over the next two days she must have pusher herself into the sights of the Curtis Cup selectors.
After another round over Troon Portland, the top 66 players and ties qualify for Sunday’s final round over the Old Course, Troon.

KILMACOLM'S EILIDH BRIGGS WINS THE RENFREWSHIRE LADIES COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE 3RD TIME
Eilidh is presented with the championship Trophy by Captain Gillian -- Photo Courtesy of Maureen Woodhead |
Eilidh, the top seed and a Stirling University P.E. student, beat Iona Stephen (Country member of Ranfurly Castle) who plays off two and is now a member at Wentworth, by 6 and 4 with a sub-par performance.
Eilidh was out in 34 to her opponent's 39, was four up at the turn, having birdied the fourth, fifth and eighth. She also won the nine with a par.
She then won the 12th and 13th and then finished the match with a birdie 2 at the 14th for a 6 and 4 victory.
A result, particularly the margin of it, must have been a disappointment for Iona who had played some very good golf herself over the three days but she was simply outgunned in the final.
Iona did take home one cup - the Peggy Clark Trophy for the best net score on the qualifying day.

In the morning semi-finals, Eildh produced five birdies in beating Greenburn's Liz Stewart 3 and 2
Liz had two birdies of her own and was all square on the 14th tee before Eilidh's birdies at the 14th and 16th finished off a very good match.
In the other semi-final, Donna Jackson (Cochrane Castle), county champion a record 11 times, lost by one hole to Iona Stephen who had three birdies in an outward 36 to her opponent's 39.Donna had birdies at the 10th and 17th to be only one down playing the 18th. Both players parred the hole, leaving Iona, the one-hole winner and a county finalist for the first time.
RESULTS
Semi-finals - Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) beat Liz Stewart (Greenburn) 3 and 2
Iona Stephen (Wentworth) beat Donna Jackson (Cochrane Castle) 1 hole.
Iona Stephen (Wentworth) beat Donna Jackson (Cochrane Castle) 1 hole.

TOP SEED LINZI ALLAN WINS AYRSHIRE TITLE FOR FIRST TIME
Linzi Allan - 2014 Ayrshire County Champion |
It was a close game with the first 3 holes being halved in pars. The first birdie came with a 2 from Connie at the short 6th where she went one ahead. The game was squared at the next with a par from Linzi who then went on to sink a 30 foot putt for birdie on the 9th to turn 1 up. Winning 2 of the next 5 holes Linzi was then 3 up and a half in 3's at the 15th left her dormie. Defending champion Connie then produced a par and a birdie to take the match to the 18th hole. Both girls were in the greenside bunker in 2 and made good recoveries but Linzi's par putt was good enough to secure the title.

WEST OF SCOTLAND'S ELIDH BRIGGS IS RUNNER UP IN THE R&A FOUNDATION SCHOLARS TOURNAMENT
Stirling students Jack McDonald and Eilidh Briggs both had to settle for the runner-up spots in a dramatic finish to the 54-hole R and A Foundation Scholars golf tournament over the Eden and Old Courses at St Andrews on Sunday.
Eilidh Briggs lost at the second hole of a women's title play-off to the defending champion, Paula Grant (University of Ulster), who is also the Irish women's amateur champion.
Four shots dropped over the first seven holes on the Old Course - including a double bogey 6 at the sixth - cost Stirling University's Jack McDonald victory in men's tournament.
McDonald, who had scored 69 and 65 over the Eden Course on Monday, could do no better than a closing two-over-par 74 over the Old Course for a four under par total of 212 for the 54-hole tournament contested by 60 student golfers from the UK, Ireland and some Continental countries.
All the competitors in this event receive financial assistance from the R and A to play competitively as amateurs while completing their studies.
In the women's event Paula Grant, joint overnight leader with Ailsa Summers (St Andrews), finished in a tie with Eilidh Briggs on seven under par 215 while Ailsa dropped down to join fourth place after a closing 81 for 219.
The Irish player had a pair of 69s over the Eden Course on Monday and a one-over-par 77 off the womens tees on the Old Course.
Eilidh, a physical education student and a member at Kilmacolm GC, had scores of 72, 68 and 75.
Eilidh birdied the first, second, ninth, 13th and 14th in her final round over the Old Course but bogeys at the fifth, 11th, 12th and 16th cost her victory the regulation 54 holes.
Paula had bogeys at the sixth, seventh and 11th but birdies at the 10th and 14th enabled her
to share the No 1 spot after 54 holes.
Then the Irish champion prevailed at the second extra hole of a sudden death playoff

Eilidh Briggs lost at the second hole of a women's title play-off to the defending champion, Paula Grant (University of Ulster), who is also the Irish women's amateur champion.
Four shots dropped over the first seven holes on the Old Course - including a double bogey 6 at the sixth - cost Stirling University's Jack McDonald victory in men's tournament.
McDonald, who had scored 69 and 65 over the Eden Course on Monday, could do no better than a closing two-over-par 74 over the Old Course for a four under par total of 212 for the 54-hole tournament contested by 60 student golfers from the UK, Ireland and some Continental countries.
All the competitors in this event receive financial assistance from the R and A to play competitively as amateurs while completing their studies.
In the women's event Paula Grant, joint overnight leader with Ailsa Summers (St Andrews), finished in a tie with Eilidh Briggs on seven under par 215 while Ailsa dropped down to join fourth place after a closing 81 for 219.
The Irish player had a pair of 69s over the Eden Course on Monday and a one-over-par 77 off the womens tees on the Old Course.
Eilidh, a physical education student and a member at Kilmacolm GC, had scores of 72, 68 and 75.
Eilidh birdied the first, second, ninth, 13th and 14th in her final round over the Old Course but bogeys at the fifth, 11th, 12th and 16th cost her victory the regulation 54 holes.
Paula had bogeys at the sixth, seventh and 11th but birdies at the 10th and 14th enabled her
to share the No 1 spot after 54 holes.
Then the Irish champion prevailed at the second extra hole of a sudden death playoff
