HAGGS CASTLE'S JENNIFER RANKINE WINS THE PAUL LAWRIE FOUNDATION SCHOOLGIRLS CHAMPIONSHIP
By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Local hope Kirsty Brodie (Strathmore) finished second, two behind with a 72 (36-36) with Shannon McWilliam (Aboyne) third with a 73 which included a double bogey 6 at the 10th in halves of 36-37.
Defending champion Emma Morrison (Craigmillar Park) finished tied 23 with a 91.

She is off 9 and scored 83 on Tuesday and 78 on Wednesday (CSS 73 both days). With these scores she qualified comfortably for the Clarke Rosebowl.
In the first round she beat Lesley Atkins, a former Scottish Girls' Champion and winner of the Scottish Schoolgirls Championship, by 2 & 1, and in the afternoon won by the same margin over the more experienced Hannah Scott.
In this morning's semi-final against 15 year old Jennifer Rankin (Haggs Castle) , Rachel was not just as accurate as she had been all week but still played a very good game and holed some super putts. Jennifer's golf was excellent and included 5 birdies which helped her to win by 5 & 4.

Among the group of players tying for sixth at two under, is the 2014 Scottish Amateur champion Gabrielle MacDonald from Craigielaw, while last year’s winner, Clara Young from North Berwick, opened with a par 73 and past Curtis Cup player Eilidh Briggs from Kilmacolm

WEST OF SCOTLAND'S EILIDH BRIGGS AND CONNIE JAFFREY FINISH IN TOP TEN OF THE ST RULE TROPHY
Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) and local girl Lauren Whyte (Regulus) tied for third place on 216 in the St Rule Trophy at St Andrews three behind the winner France's 15 year old Pauline Roussin-Bouchard.
Eilidh, who missed most of last season with injury, shot 74, 68 and 74, while Lauren, a student at Baylor University, Texas, reeled off three 72s in her best performance at this high level for a year or two.
Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies) tied for eighth place on seven-under 219 after an outward half of five-under 33 over the Old Course had her lying joint third with nine holes to play. But she took two-over 40 shots to come home for a 73. Still, she might have run into a bit of form just in time for the Scottish women's championship at West Kilbride this week. She was beaten by Gabrielle Macdonald in the final at Prestwick two or three years back.

PAMELA PRETSWELL QUALIFIES FOR USA WOMEN'S OPEN
Pamela Pretswell secured the fifth and final spot on three-under-par 141 (70-71) in the qualifying 36 hole European qualifier for the 2016 USA Women's Open Championship.
The Scot from Hamilton said: “I’m absolutely delighted. This is my first time playing in US Women’s Open qualifying and I’m looking forward to playing in California.
"I’ve played in two British Opens but to go over to America will be amazing and a good experience. I just tried to stay patient all day and make as many birdies as we could.
"I think I was very patient which is something I’m not always good at but it’s been coming for a while, so it’s nice. It’s massive and I’m looking forward to next month and hopefully I can continue playing good golf.”
Other Scots who did well but not quite well enough by finishing in the top 20 were Carly Booth (T8 on 143: 71-72), Kylie Walker (T11 on 145: 71-74) and Vikki Laing (T18 on 147: 71-76

| Lorna McClymont - 2016 D&A County Champion with Karen Maxwell (Captain) and Enid Young (President) |
In the final, Lorna won by 5 and 4 against former Scotland international Claire Hargan (Regulus), who was six times champion of Midlothian between 2003 and 2009
Hargan beat top seed Jillian Farrell (Cardross) by 5 and 4 in the morning semi-finals when McClymont won at the 19th against Lorraine Campbell (Cardross).
Lorna was fast out of the blocks with a birdie at the first hole.
Claire won the second, then Lorna won the third and McClymont was four up at the turn.
That became a five-hole lead when Lorna won the 10th. Hargan won the 12th but it was too little too late. After halving 13, won the 14th with a birdie to regain a five-hole lead and claim her first county championship
In the semi-final against Farrell, Hargan won the 10th and 12th before holing a long putt on 13 to go three up.
The 14th was halved and Claire managed to sink a putt on 15 for a 4 to win by 4 and 3.
In the other semi-final Lorna McClymont played steadily but Lorraine Campbell will be rueing a few early putts missed which saw her fall to three down at the turn.
Lorraine was still three down after 14 before she rallied to win two holes and then birdied the last hole to square the match and take it down the 19th.
McClymont won at the 19th with a 4 after Lorraine was bunkered.
The Bronze championship final was a closely fought affair between Mandy Allen (Milngavie) and Rae Strang (Cardross). Rae triumphed by two holes.

AYRSHIRE GIRLS' SPRING SILVER SALVER
 |
| Sarah Ramsay - centre with trophy |
5 girls battled the windy conditions at Ardeer today in Ayrshire Girls' Spring Salver competition. Sarah Ramsay (West Kilbride) had an excellent round of 84, nett 71 which matched the standard scratch and wins the trophy. Close on her heels was local girl Luisa Gibson with a nett 73 followed by Cristina McCracken (Troon Ladies) on 75.
Katie Ronnie (Barassie) and Susie Walsh (Troon Ladies) (pictured above) - played 9 holes from forward tees in the Pre-handicap competition. Both girls played lovely golf and have a very good 'feel' for the chipping shots and putting - a delight to be with and we look forward to seeing more of them in the future.
Thanks go to June Kerr for the report and photographs
