Williamwood's Sara McCorkell wins the Scottish Medal Finals (West Division)
There was a home success in the West Division - Scottish Medal Finals with former Renfrewshire County Team member and former Williamwood Women’s Club Champion Sara McCorkell and carding a net two-over 74 to finish a single shot ahead of Shirley Dalrymple (Hayston) and Ruth Hunter (Lanark).
Laura McGeachy (Haggs Castle), Roisin Black (Gleddoch Resorts Ltd) and Susan Halley (Strathaven) also qualified for the Grand Final after carding net scores four over par 76 but there was disappointment for Patricia Crook (Southerness), Jane Richardson (Kirkcudbright), Joan Walker (Balfron Golf Society) and another Williamwood member Gillian McLeod who lost out in a card countback on the same score.
“It’s great to get to the Grand Final because I was at St Andrews University years ago but never got the chance to play the Duke’s course,” a delighted McCorkell said.
“I was first out in the morning and when I finished I thought I’d probably miss out by a couple of shots so it was a bit of a surprise to find out I’d won.
“There’s no doubt local knowledge helped a bit,” she added. “I holed a tricky birdie putt from about eight feet on the 13th but then went through a bit of an iffy patch before finishing with two pars.
“I’m looking forward to the Grand Final already.”
The Scottish Medal Finals West was the second of six Regional Finals with six men and six women at each event qualifying for the Grand Final at The Duke’s, St Andrews, in August.
