Hannah McCook (Grantown on Spey) won the Scottish women's champion of champions' 18-hole tournament at Glasgow Gailes Golf Club today (Sunday) despite double bogey 6s at the ninth and 10th holes.
Birdies at the first, fourth and 14th helped her return a one-over-par 72, a good score for the testing links course.
Tara Mactaggart (Minto) finished runner-up, one stroke behind with a 73. Had Tara finished with a par 4 instead of a double bogey 6 she would have won the title. The Borders player started well with birdies at the first, second and fifth but had a bad spell in the middle of the round when she bogeyed the eighth, 10th, 12th and 15th. A birdie at the 14th put her back on track for a possible win but the double bogey at the 18th relegated her to second place.
Renfrewshire champion Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) finished third with a 74.
A field of 16 was the biggest the competition has attracted in recent years.
