Congratulations to Kelsey MacDonald for winning the Scottish Under-21 girls' stroke-play championship for a record fourth year in a row by the commanding margin of six strokes at Cardross Golf Club on Friday 29th July. Kelsey outclassed her contemporaries despite going into the tournament on a low, having failed - not by much - to be among the 18 qualifiers at Panmure for the Ricoh British Women's Open Championship at Carnoustie.
That perhaps explained her opening round of one-over-par 75 in the Junior Women's Championship which left her joint eighth. But Kelsey banished the blues in no uncertain fashion after that. She covered the remaining 36 holes in eight under par with a pair of 70s for a seven-under-par winning total of 215.
She is a Great Britain and Ireland international these days and over the final two days at Cardross she played like one.
