RECORD PERFORMANCE BY EMMA IN FIVE-SHOT VICTORY

Curtis Cup team selection Emma Duggleby gave herself a big boost for the June 12-13 match against the United States by winning the Helen Holm Scottish women's open amateur stroke-play championship with a record low total of 14-under-par 211 at Troon on Sunday.
Emma, 32-year-old former British and English women's champion from Yorkshire, had rounds of 71 and 69 over Troon Portland on Saturday and forged clear of the field for an impressive five-shot victory with a four-under-par final round of 71 at the Open championship venue, the Royal Troon links.
Four years ago Miss Duggleby and Rebecca Hudson set the previous tournament record in tieing on 213 before Rebecca won the play-off.
"That's about as well as I can play at Troon," said a delighted Emma who works in her home club Malton & Norton's administration office and pro's shop.
"I could never play full-time golf. I would be bored to tears. This way I have the best of both worlds. I have actually been playing less and less golf over the past couple of years but it does not seem to have affected my play. If anything, I'm getting better results!"
Miss Duggleby, Faye Sanderson from Heworth, Durham, and France's Marion Sapin, started the final round locked together in the lead at 10-under-par 140. Emma birdied the first hole, Marion parred it, and Faye took two shots in a bunker to run up a double-bogey 6.
That put Emma clear in the pole position and she steadily pulled away from the field with further birdies at the second, fourth, 11th, 12th and 18th in halves of 34 (three under) and 37 (one under).
Miss Duggleby did not drop a shot until the 16th where she missed the green on the left and she stayed out of Royal Troon's punishing bunkers until the short 17th where she took no chances and did not go for the flag with her recovery and finished up with her second and last bogey.
Claire Coughlan from Cork, another member of the Great Britain & Ireland team for Formby, finished runner-up on 216 with rounds of 74, 71 and 71.
Dawn Dewar, 19-year-old Stirling University student from Monifieth, finished the top Scot in sixth place with a total of five-under-par 220, following up a 71 and a 75 at Troon Portland with a gutsy 74 over Royal Troon.
Dawn was four under par for her final round with birdies at the second, fourth, sixth and 12th but ran up a double bogey 6 at the 13th, squeezed in another birdie at the 15th before bogeying the last two holes for an inward half of 40.
Emma Duggleby and Shelley McKevitt (Reading) won the international team event for England after a tie on 437 with Ireland's Claire Coughlan and Maura Morrin. The tie-breaker was the better final-round aggregate.
