EILIDH AND MEGAN LOSE IN THE SEMIS AT PRESTWICK AND CAROL WHYTE IS RUNNER UP IN THE CLARK ROSEBOWL
Report from the SLGA Website
Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies) set her sights on history after she defeated Eildih Briggs (Kilmacolm) by 2 and 1 in the semi-final of the Scottish Ladies’ Championship at Prestwick.
In the 100th staging of the Championship, the 17-year-old has the chance to become the youngest ever winner and the first to hold both the Scottish Girls’ and Scottish Ladies’ titles.
Standing in her way is Gabrielle MacDonald (Craigielaw). In the semi-finals, the 21-year-old ended the hopes of the older of the Briggs’ sisters, Megan, with a 3 and 2 victory.
Jaffrey, the leading strokeplay qualifier, had beaten Lesley Atkins (Gullane) by 2 and 1 in the quarter-finals and she was never behind in the last four match against Briggs, who will be flying to the States on Monday to represent GB and Ireland in next month’s Curtis Cup.
The teenager’s short game was the key, the highlight being a 45-foot birdie putt from off the green at the sixth.
“It’s amazing to go through,” said Jaffrey. “I was hoping to make the semi-finals this week so to get into the final is a bonus. Eildih is a great player and I knew it was going to be a tough match.”
Last month, Jaffrey was runner-up in the Helen Holm Scottish Open Strokeplay Championship and she attributes the great run of form to hard work and determination.
“I had a setback a couple of years ago when I missed out on some teams.” She explained. “But then I started working really hard with a psychologist and my coach George Boswell. I was determined to prove some people wrong.”
MacDonald won the battle of the St Andrews University students in the last eight with a 3 and 2 win over Ailsa Summers (Carnoustie) and closed out her match with Briggs with wins at the 13th, 15th and 16th.
With her boyfriend and fellow Geography student, Guy Dalziel, as her caddie, MacDonald admitted that her second round win over Clara Young and then the triumph over Summers were a huge confidence boost.
“I play Ailsa a lot at St Andrews but this is the first time I have beaten her,” she said. “Everyone at the university is great and I get a lot of support. “
Completing a good day for Troon Ladies’ teenagers, 16-year-old Emma Hale won the Clark Rosebowl, defeating Carol Whyte (Milngavie) by 2 and1 in the final.

EILIDH AND MEGAN STILL ON COURSE AT PRESTWICK AND CAROL IN CLARK ROSEBOWL SEMI FINALS
ATKINS OUSTS DEFENDING CHAMPION ALYSON MCKECHIN
From the SLGA Website
Lesley Atkins (Gullane) knocked out defending champion, Alyson McKechin (Elderslie), by 2 and 1 to make it through to the quarter-finals of the Scottish Ladies’ Championship at Prestwick.
The 19-year-old claimed it was a career best win and her reward is a last eight match against Kilmacolm’s Eilidh Briggs, who will be playing for GB and Ireland in next month’s Curtis Cup at St Louis Country Club.
Two down at the turn, Atkins, who is in her first year at Florida International University, drew level at the 14th and then crucially made a birdie at the 16th to edge one ahead. A bogey at the 17th was good enough to win both the hole and the match.
“I was nervous at the start and towards the end,” she admitted. “I’m loving my time in Florida and definitely feel my best golf is yet to come.”
Teenager Connie Jaffrey, the leading strokeplay qualifier, continued an impressive run through to the quarter-finals. Level par in the first round, the 17-year-old Scottish Girls’ Champion defeated her Troon Ladies’ clubmate Jane Finnie by 6 and 5 and was then three under par in ousting Hannah McCook (Grantown-On-Spey) by 5 and 4 at the last 16 stage.
In the second round, Jaffrey won the first two holes in par and then had a sparkling run – birdie, birdie, eagle – from the seventh to turn for home with the five hole advantage. The three at the ninth was quite straightforward – a drive, rescue club to five feet and a single putt.
In the quarter-finals, Jaffrey will face the 2012 Scottish Girls’ Champion, Lauren Whyte – the St Regulus youngster advanced with a 4 and 2 win over Milngavie’s Nichola Ferguson.
Megan Briggs, the older of the Kilmacolm sisters, kept up her hopes of repeating her 2009 triumph with a comfortable 5 and 3 victory over Kate McIntosh (Broomieknowe) and she now meets Rachel Walker (Dumfries and County).
The last of the quarter-finals is Ailsa Summers (Carnoustie) versus Gabrielle MacDonald (Craigielaw), who won an all East Lothian tie 2 and 1 against last year’s beaten finalist, Clara Young (North Berwick).

ALYSON IS THE 2013 SCOTTISH CHAMPION

FROM THE SLGA WEBSITE
REPORT BY ELSPETH BURNSIDE
Renfrewshire's Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) fulfilled a childhood dream when she defeated Clara Young (North Berwick) 3 and 2 to win the Scottish Ladies’ Amateur Championship at Longniddry.REPORT BY ELSPETH BURNSIDE
“Winning the Scottish Championship is something I have thought about ever since I started playing golf,” said the 19-year-old, who had her Dad, Ian, as her caddie. “I am proud to be the first winner from Elderslie and hope it inspires other girls at the club.” With torrential rain making conditions far from easy,
Alyson birdied two of the first three holes and moved three up at the short sixth where Clara found trouble from the tee. Aiming to become the youngest ever winner, the 16 year-old East Lothian girl struggled to find the fairway in the atrocious conditions and was five down at the turn. But she then made a great, late comeback, winning three holes in a row from the 13th and was just two down with three to play.
However, Alyson held her nerve and a winning par three at the short 16th prompted the shake of hands.
“I started out very well but the mistakes started to creep in as the weather deteriorated,” said the new champion. “That let her in and she took her chance and it was beginning to become very close. “It’s great to win and it was good to have Dad on the bag. He kept me calm and made sure I didn’t get too far ahead of myself.
“I started playing golf when I was 12 and have come through all the Scottish squads from development upwards.
This just feels so special.” Clara admitted that Alyson had played the better golf. “She put me under a lot of pressure at the start,” she said. “But I can take a lot of positives from week. I would certainly have taken a place in the final at the start of the Championship.”
Catriona Matthew, who lives in North Berwick and is a Vice-President of the Scottish Ladies’ Golfing Association, was one of the brave spectators that watched all 16 holes.
“They are both great players and good to see two youngsters in the final,” said the three-time former champion and the only Scot to win a major title at the 2009 Ricoh Women’s British Open Champion.
Alyson , joint runner-up at the Helen Holm Scottish Open Strokeplay Championship last month, has now extended her lead on the SLGA’s Order of Merit.
“It certainly has been a great start to the season,” said the girl who works part-time at the Glasgow Indoor Golf Centre. “And I’ll be back to defend at Prestwick next year.”
Alyson joins the following Renfrewshire stars to make this achievement
Heather Anderson -- 1969 (West Kilbride)
Megan Briggs --- 2009 (Southerness)Dorothea Hastings (nee Sommerville) - 1958 (Elie and Earlsferry)
Shirley Lawson -- 1988 (Southerness) and 1989 (Lossiemouth)
Aileen Wilson -- 1974 (Nairn)
