Fiona de Vries & Claire Hargan |
2003 Championship at Duddingston
Claire Hargan (Prestonfield), won
the Midlothian County Championship for the first time over a very blustery Duddingston
course when she beat Fiona de Vries (St Rule) by 3&1 in the final.
Starting
with a birdie 4 at the first, where she was on in two at the 471 yard par 5, Claire
was never down in a match of excellent golf played in a very friendly yet competitive
spirit. Fiona took the short second with a single putt 3, and but lost the fourth
where a skied drive meant that she had to play short of the water. Claire put
it close at the short sixth to go two up, and she remained in this position through
the turn, which she reached in 37 shots, to Fiona's 39 (par is 37).

Fiona won the short tenth to get one back but immediately gave it away again
at the next. They shared the 265 yard twelfth in birdie 3's and Fiona won the
385 yard 13th Temple hole by holing a long putt. Both missed the green at the
short 14th when they took three to get down.
Two down with three to play,
Fiona put her second to six feet at the 290 yard 16th, but Claire followed her
in even closer. Fiona missed her putt and Claire holed to be two up with two to
play, and steady play by Claire down the par 5 17th gave her the title.
Claire,
who was a member of Dunbartonshire and Argyll for many years, joined Midlothian
at the turn of the year. She now lives and works in Edinburgh where she is training
to be an actuary. In the morning semi-finals. Claire Hargan beat Jane Williamson
(Mortonhall) by 2 and 1, while Fiona de Vries beat Rita Dee (Kingsknowe) by 3
and 2 . |
