In the Ladies event, Welsh international Gemma Bradbury (St Andrews) who had led going into today by ten shots shot an excellent 76 (4 over par) in the conditions and extended her lead to 16 shots at the end.
Jane Turner (RGU) and Susan Jackson (Edinburgh) - both previous SUS Order of Merit event winners - were unable to close the gap in the tricky conditions but battled on valiantly to share second place.

The men's competition (also cut to 54 holes) the event came down to the final player's putts, on the final green as the snow fell and fifty cold and wet golfers looked on from the clubhouse porch. Jon Corke (St Andrews) held his nerve to hole a short two footer to secure his first Jack Allan
