Aberdeenshire Women's County ChampionshipCruden BayABERDEEN Ladies player Sheena Wood has become the first player for over 25 years to win the Aberdeenshire women's county golf championship three years in a row. Sheena, a former international player, came back from three down after three holes and four down after seven to Julie Henderson (Inverurie) to score a dramatic win at the 19th in the final at Cruden Bay yesterday (Sunday). Miss Henderson was still two up with two to play but finished 5, 6 to Miss Wood's 4, 5 at the 17th and 18th and so it was down the 19th. Julie played the better approach shot but it ended up in a greenside bunker while Sheena's second came up short of the green. Julie came out of the bunker to 7ft but could not hole the putt for a par 4 and Sheena two-putted for her 4 to complete a hat-trick of county titles and a fourth success in the championship in all. First round - J Henderson (Inverurie) beat F Hay (Deeside) 3 and 1, E Whyte (Aberdeen Ladies) beat L McLardy (Murcar) 3 and 2, K Moggach (Hazlehead) beat J Lees (Westhill) 2 and 1, L Terry (Cruden Bay) beat L McPherson (Deeside) 2 and 1, G Melvin (Hazlehead) beat A Smart (Banchory) 6 and 5, J Harrison (Cruden Bay) beat A Bowman (Elon) 3 and 2, C Middleton (Cruden Bay) beat D Gordon (Westhill) 8 and 7, S Wood (Aberdeen Ladies) beat C Wilson (Murcar) 8 and 7.
