SCOTTISH GIRLS CHAMPIONSHIP BEGINS TOMORROW AT RANFURLY CASTLE

Lauren Whyte (St Regulus) defends the Scottish Girls' Amateur Championship at Ranfurly Castle from July 16-20 - but the young Fifer will face a tough challange.

Clara Young (North Berwick) showed her quality by reaching the final of the Scottish Ladies' Amateur Championship at Longniddry in May, while Nicola Callander (Mill Green) won the Scottish Junior (under-21) Open Strokeplay Championship at Blairgowrie last year.

German-based Fiona Liddell is just 15, but she reached the last 16 at the Scottish Ladies' Championship (she lost to young) and is fresh from playing for GB and Ireland in the Junior Vagliano Trophy in France.

Another big threat will be Lesley Atkins (Gullane). She won the title at Eyemouth in 2010 - and this will be her final year in the Championship.

Whyte won the title at Crail last year and went on to represent GB at the Australian Youth Olympics in January. She is the back marker in the field of 62 with a plus one handicap.

After 36 holes of stroke play qualifying, the top 32 go through to the matchplay knock-out. The next 16 qualify for the Ansley Reid Salver.

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.
