It's a triple whammy for the English

at Scottish Under-16 girls' event

England dominated the Scottish Under-16 girls' open stroke-play golf championship to such an extent that only Lesley Atkins (Minto) and Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) of the host country finished in the top 20 at the 36-hole event at Craigielaw Links, near Edinburgh.,
Lesley, the Scottish Under-14 girls' champion from last year, had rounds of 78 and 73 for a nine-over-par total of 151.
She finished fourth in a field of over 100, eight shots behind the winner, Hayley Davis from the Ferndon club, Dorset. Hayley, undoubtedly a Curtis Cup star in the making, had scores of 73 and one-under-par 70 for one-over 143 to win by three shots from Wiltshire's Hannah Turland (Tidworth Garrison) with Ashley Cramond (Warwickshire) completing an England 1-2-3 on 149.
Hayley Davis showed her class by coming home in her second round in two-under-par 34, despite a double bogey 6 at the 12th. She had five birdies in all, at the sixth, 10th, 11th, 13th and 15th after a slow start in which she bogeyed the first and third.
Atkins will be rueing a double-bogey 7 at the 18th in the first round. She birdied the same hole in the second round.
Eilidh Briggs had scores of 82 and 78 for 160 and a share of 17th place.
Julie Vass (Tain) was the leading player from the North and North-east. She finished joint 22nd with a pair of 81s for 162.
As to be expected, England's two squads finished first and second with totals of 298 and 299 in the team event, despite having a leading player, Heidi Baek, disqualified for not signing her first-round scorecard, and another, English schoolgirls champion Jamie-Leigh Voss, unfit to continue after only nine holes on Thursday. Baek's second-round score of 72 was allowed to count towards the team total.
Scotland 1 (Lesley Atkins, Eilidh Briggs and Hannah McCook) finished third on 311, a shot ahead of Wales' Chloe Williams, Katy Bradbury and Amy Boulden.
Individual and team winners, England completed a triple whammy when Nicola Haynes (Gosforth Park Ladies) won the leading handicap award with net scores of 68 and 69 off a handicap of 11 for a total of 137.
That was two shots ahead of Alison Goodwin (Glenbervie) (handicap 14) who edged out Nicole Underhill (Falkirk Tryst) (handicap 22) on the better net second round.
