Dornoch's Alison Bartlett is the Scottish Senior's Strokeplay Champion
Royal Dornoch's Alison Bartlett is the new Scottish senior women's amateur stroke-play golf champion.
She won the title at Kemnay Golf Club, Aberdeenshire today after long-time leader Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) dropped four shots to par over the last four holes.
Glennie, well clear of the field, had a double bogey 7 at the 15th and bogeys at the 16th and 17th for a six-over-par round of 79 (39-40) which gave her a two-round final total of eight-over 154.
Bartlett matched that aggregate by birdieing the 17th on her way to a one-under 72 (37-35).
Glennie's downward spiral continued when she lost the sudden-death play-off to Bartlett at the first extra hole.
Tain sisters Mary Smith (81 for 158) and Anne Ryan (80 for 161) finished third and joint fifth to give the far North three players in the top six - a grand performance.
The leading 16 players go on to contest the seniors' match-play championship over the next two days.
Linda Urquhart (Banchory) was the 16th qualifier with an 85 for 168 - pipping former Scottish seniors champion Karen Ballantyne (Craigmillar Park) (83 for 169) for the final place.

AYRSHIRE'S ALEX GLENNIE LEADS AFTER THE 1ST ROUND OF THE SCOTTISH SENIORS AT KEMNAY
Alex Glennie 2011 Scottish Seniors Strokeplay Champion |
Like every golf course in the country, Kemnay is very, very wet after days, even weeks of rain and was playing every inch of its length today.
Alex Glennie (pictured above), Ayrshire county champion in 2004 and the 2011 Scottish Seniors Strokeplay champion did not have a birdie on her card but 16 pars and bogeys at two long holes, the 15th and 16th, represented a very good day's "work" for a two-over-par 73 (37-38).
She will start Wednesday's second and final round with a two-shot lead from Jill Harrison (Cruden Bay) and Mary Smith (Tain).
Noreen Fenton (Dunbar), who had an 81 today, is the defending matchplay champion but is now a selector and will not take part in the 2nd qualifying round.

PAMELA PRETSWELL TURNS PROFESSIONAL
Pamela Pretswell |
Pamela, who graduated from Glasgow University last year, moves into the professional ranks on the back of a successful amateur career. Last month she helped Great Britain and Ireland win the Curtis Cup against the USA for the first time since 1996 and is a former winner of the British Ladies Amateur Stoke Play Championship and Swiss Ladies Amateur Open.
Since graduating, Pamela has been preparing for professional golf by playing as an amateur in the LETAS and in May she became the first amateur to win a LETAS event when she won the Ljunbyhed Park PGA Ladies Open in Sweden by 2 shots after a final round of 4 under par.
Pamela is currently lying 2nd in the LETAS Order of Merit and is targeting a top 3 finish which would secure a card for the Ladies European Tour (LET) in 2013. Pamela's first event as a professional will be in the LETAS Ladies Challenge in Norway next week.
On turning professional, Pamela paid tribute to the support and encouragement that she has received from the Scottish Ladies Golf Association (SLGA), Ladies Golf Union (LGU), Lanarkshire Ladies County Golf Association, Bothwell Castle Golf Club, Ladies Golf Club Troon, Aberdeen Asset Management, Coach Alan Murdoch and his team at Kings Acre.

ALYSON MCKECHIN QUALIFIES FOR THE MATCHPLAY STAGES OF THE BRITISH WOMEN AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP
A marvellous three under par 69 - the lowest of both qualifying rounds - earned Super Scot Sally Watson the honour of being top seed for the match-play stages of the British women's open amateur golf championship at Carnoustie.
Sally, originally from South Queensferry but whose family home is now Elie in Fife, tied with 18-year-old French girl Celine Boutier on three-under-par 141 for the No 1 spot.
Sally had rounds of 72-69, Celine 70-71, so the card comparison gave Sally, with the better second round, the No 1 seeding.
The only other Scots to figure among the 64 match-play qualifiers were:
Rachael Watton (Mortonhall) on 152 (77-75).
Young Jessica Meek (Carnoustie Ladies) on 153 (82-71). --- The 17-year-old who came off the waiting list at the last minute on Tuesday because she was local and ready, willing able to step into a vacancy that came up. Her 71 is a record by a Carnoustie Ladies GC member.
Renfrewshire County Champion Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) on 157 (82-75) also made the cut.
Alyson now plays Curtis Cup Team player Bronty Law in the 1st round tomorrow.
