WHAT a day for Gemma Webster at the BP Scottish girls championship at
sunny Powfoot golf course on the Solway Firth yesterday (Wed).
In her morning first-round tie, the Hilton Park player knocked out the
highly-rated Sharon Main from Lossiemouth with a hole in one with a seven-iron
at the 130yd 15th on her way to a shock 4 and 2 win.
Then Miss Webster performed an even bigger giant-killing act in the afternoon
to remove the top seed and the title-favourite, Jenna Wilson (Strathaven)
from the championship. Gemma's par golf was good enough to see her win
by one hole. She now plays Inverness women's club champion for the past
two years, Kerri Harper.
Dawn Dewar (Monifieth), the Angus women's county champion and the No 2
qualifier, is through to the last eight and her suspect left wrist, strapped
up due to tendonitis, stood up well to 34 holes' play. Dawn's next opponent
is Lesley Hendry (Routenburn) who beat Roseanne Niven, the youngest ever
Crieff women's club champion at the age of 13, by 3 and 1.
