Another first for Heather MacRae: She

wins PGA Player of Month award

NEWS RELEASE FROM THE PGA
A number of notable performances caught the eye but none more so than that of Gullane’s Heather MacRae – who is the first female to win the monthly Sunderland of Scotland PGA Player of the Month award.
MacRae clinched the award, which wins her one of Sunderland’s new UV Protection range shirts, on the back of becoming the first woman since 1933 to qualify for the Tartan Tour’s flagship event – the Scottish PGA Championship.
MacRae’s two-over-par 75 at Downfield was more than sufficient to assure her of a place at Gleneagles last this month. That performance came on the back of winning the opening event of the Ryder Cup Wales WPGA One Day Series at Dunham Forest, where she was the only player under par.
The Tartan Tour had two further strong candidates to claim the monthly honour in Craig Lee and David Orr.
Lee’s record of played one won one, that being the Northern Open, thrust him to the top of the OOM.
A place behind him is Orr, who secured the share of two pro-am victories and two top ten finishes in the opening OOM events.
The PGA Player of the Month award will run until October.
