SCOTTISH WOMEN'S FOURSOMES

ST REGULUS, ST ANDREWS PAIR WIN
SCOTTISH WOMEN’S FOURSOMES

Fiona Lockhart and Elaine Moffat, both members of St Regulus Golf Club, St Andrews – and both former Scottish women’s amateur champions, added another national title to their golfing CV at Cowglen Golf Club, Glasgow today.
They won the Scottish women’s foursomes title by one shot from the Baberton pairing of Karen Marshall and Fiona Hunter.
It was actually Fiona’s third national title because she won the Scottish mixed foursomes championship three or four years ago.
Fiona and Elaine had rounds of 77 and 73 over the par-72 women’s course for a total of 150. It was their second round that enabled them to leapfrog over their rivals to the top of the leaderboard.
Karen Marshall and Fiona Hunter scored 71 and 80 for 151.
The best net total was 142 off a handicap of eight by local members Dorothy Yates and Chris Fowler. They had net scores of 69 and 73.
Only 15 couples entered the tournament.
