SALLY WATSON WINS GIRLS' EVENT
BY ONE SHOT IN FLORIDA

Junior Solheim Cup team player Sally Watson from South Queensferry is back in the golf news.
This weekend she won "The Leadbetter" girls' tournament at IMG Academy Golf & Country Club in Bradenton, Florida.
Sally, who is 16, had rounds of 69 and 74 for a one-under-par total of 143 over the 5,878yd, par-72 course. In her first round, she birdied the third, 14th, 17th and 18th, dropping only one shot, at the 15th in halves of 35 and 34.
In her second round, Sally birdied the second, third and seventh but had a double bogey at the fifth and bogeys at the first, sixth and 14th in halves of 37.
The Scot finished a shot ahead of Ardina Dottie (Philippines) who scored 70 and 74.
Italy's Giulia Molinaro, a classmate of Sally's at the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in Florida and winner of the girls' title at last autumn's Duke of York Young Champions' Trophy tournament at Dundonald, finished in sixth place with scores of 72 and 82 for 154.
Sally finished second with scores of 70 and 73 in her last US junior competition - the Rolling Oaks Open at San Antonio, Texas in October.
