Technical difficulties. (Why does nothing ever work as it should?)
Apologies to those of you who were unable to reach this site last night
and this morning.
There was a problem with web redirection in that www.kirkwoodgolf.co.uk
was not finding http://members.lycos.co.uk/ercn86/ (currently the real
address of this site).
It was very annoying as it is happened to three sites that I manage on
two different hosts (don't blame Lycos!), and it was completely out of
my control.
If it happens again use the real address http://members.lycos.co.uk/ercn86/
and you should get in. (write it down... you won't be able to see this

I'm trying to provide my kirkwoodgolf service as economically as I can...

Sunday 2nd June
Heather's historic treble
by Colin Farquharson
Heather
Stirling, 25 year old Bridge of Allan full-time amateur golfer, today
completed a historic hat-trick in Scottish golf when she won the St Rule
Trophy from a strong field by three strokes.
Heather thus became the first player to win the Helen Holm Scottish women's
open stroke-play, the Scottish championship and the St Rule Trophy all
in the space of five weeks.
Heather, who led from start to finish over first the New Course and then
the final two rounds in a steady drizzle over the Old Course, had rounds
of 71, 71 and 76 for a nine-under par total of 218.
Defending champion Alison Coffey from Warrenpoint, Northern Ireland, finished
runner-up on 221 with Scottish junior champion Lynn Kenny (Dunblane) third
on 222 after birdieing the 16th and 17th.
It was not quite so easy a win as the margin of victory suggests. Miss
Coffey started the final round four strokes behind Miss Stirling but had
slashed the deficit to one with nine holes to go.
Still only one shot off the pace, Alison's charge nosedived at the 17th
Road Hole Bunker.
She sent a sand wedge approach, her third shot at the par-5 hole, into
the dreaded bunker, was plugged against the face, took two to get out
and ran up a triple bogey 8.
"The wind got up just as I played the shot and pushed it into the
bunker, which was bad enough but the lie I had was awful, right into the
face. It took me two shots to get out and then I missed from 4ft,"
said Miss Coffey, a civil engineer in Belfast.
"But, that's golf, and I'm not complaining. Some day things go for
you, other days they don't. I had a good run to get close to Heather and
nobody's been doing that this season."
Heather had no definite news about what was happening in the group behind
her, which included Alison Coffey.
"When I three-putted the last for a bogey 5, I thought it was going
to prove costly. It was tough on Alison to get into such bad trouble at
the 17th. The Old Course is much tougher than Stranraer and I had to work
for the figures in the last round. But that's another big win. That can't
be bad," said Heather.
As in the "Helen Holm," English ace Rebecca Hudson never got
close enough to Heather Stirling to put pressure on her in the closing
stages and she finished joint fourth on 227 alongside last year's Scottish
champion Linzi Morton (Tulliallan), Rachel Bell (Ganton), who was beaten
finalist in the British girls championship final at Blairgowrie two years
ago and is now at college in America, and Rebecca Coakley, the Irish-based
Australian.
Ireland won the team event with a total of 451, three ahead of England
with Scotland, last year's winners, inthird place on 455.

LATER UPDATE
FINAL ROUND AFTER NINE HOLES
Alison Coffey had closed to within one stroke of long-time leader Heather
Stirling after nine holes of the final round over the Old Course.
Miss Coffey, who had missed a shortish birdie putt on the 18th green in
the second round, went out in four-under-par 34 to be on nine-under-par
180 with nine holes to go.
Heather Stirling went out in one-under 37 to be on 10-under-par 180 with
nine to go.
Incidentally, the record low winning total in the tournament is 12 under
par 215 by Catriona Lambert (North Berwick) in 1993.
Catriona became Mrs Matthew before she retained the St Rule Trophy in
1994 and is the last player to win it two years in a row.
LEADERBOARD WITH NINE HOLES TO GO
10 under par: Heather Stirling 71 71 37.

NCAA Men's Championshipsby Colin Farquharson Walker player Graeme McDowell from Portrush, Northern Ireland,
the top-ranked player on the United States college circuit, lost
the overnight lead in the last round and finished tied for fourth
place in the NCAA men's Division 1 championship at Columbus, Ohio.
McDowell, Irish champion in 2000 and one of the Walker Cup-winning
Great Britain & Ireland team at Sea Island, Georgia last August,
was favourite to make this his seventh and biggest win of the college
season but he slumped to a three-over-par 74, by three shots his
worst of the four rounds in the weather-hit tournament over the
Ohio State University's Scarlet Course. |

 Best Scot David Inglis |
British boys champion of 2000, David Inglis (Tulsa)
was the leading Scot of the four in the exclusive field. David had
a last round of 71 for three-over 287 and joint 38th place. Tulsa
finished joint ninth in the team contest. Jamie McLeary (Baylor), the Scottish youths champion from Glenrothes), suddenly hit form on the final day with a two-under 69 for a seven-over total of 291 and a tie for 64th place. His previous best had been a 72. Ireland's Sean McTernan finished just outside the top 100 with a 75 for 297. Scottish boys open stroke play champion Scott Jamieson (Augusta State) from Cathkin Braes had the galling experience of losing the form that had given him some high finishes on the college circuit over the past month or two, just when he needed it. Scott closed with a 74 for 14-over 298 and joint 118th place but the silver lining for him was that Augusta State came fifth in the team event. Craig Gordon (UAB) from Edinburgh finished tied for 151st place in a field of 156 with a closing round of 73 for 308. He twice failed to break 80. The University of Minnesota, who have fixed up BP Scottish boys champion John Hempstock (Dumfries & Co) to join their golf team in the autumn, were the shock winners of the team title. They totalled 1134, four ahead of Georgia Tech with Clemson and Texas joint third on 1145 and Augusta State fifth on 1143. Minnesota's golf programme has been given a one-year reprieve after being named as one of the sports to be axed by the university authorities as part of an economy drive. |

HEATHER GOES
FOR UNIQUE HAT-TRICK
Heather Stirling, the United Kingdom's female amateur golfer of the
season so far, bids to complete a unique hat-trick of titles in the prestigious
St Rule Trophy tournament over 54 holes at St Andrews this weekend.
The 25-year-old from Bridge of Allan beat a field of fellow Curtis Cup
team contenders by four strokes in the Helen Holm Scottish women's open
amateur stroke-play at Troon at the end of April.
Then blooming Heather was the leading qualifier in the Scottish women's
amateur championship at Stranraer earlier this month by a record 13 strokes
and went on to win the title by beating Anne Laing (Vale of Leven) by
3 and 1 in a high-class final. No Scot has ever won the "Helen Holm,"
the Scottish title and the St Rule Trophy in the same season.
Catriona Matthew (North Berwick), Anne Laing and Lesley Nicholson (Haddington)
have come the closest by winning two out of the three.
Catriona won the Scottish championship at Gullane in 1994 and the St Rule
Trophy a couple of weeks later..
After winning the Scottish championship at Royal Dornoch in 1996 Anne
went on to St Andrews to win the St Rule Trophy that year.
In 1999 Lesley won the "Helen Holm" and the "St Rule."
Heather Stirling was joint seventh in the St Rule Trophy last year with
a 54-hole total of 231, the same as the Scottish champion of the time,
Linzi Morton. The winner with an aggregate of 221 (74, 72, 75) was Irish
champion Alison Coffey (Warrenpoint) with Rebecca Hudson (Wheatley) second
on 223 (75, 74, 74) and Vikki Laing (Musselburgh), the winner in 2000,
third on 226 (76, 77, 73).
Scotland won the team event by five strokes from England 12 months ago,
thanks to the efforts of Vikki Laing, Anne Laing and Linzi Morton. The
same trio will be representing the home country in the team event.
+The first round on Saturday is over the New Course at St Andrews. Scores
will be available on this website at the completion of the round, hopefully
around 6.30pm.
++ The second and third rounds will be played over the Old Course. Some
second round scores will be posted on this website but I'm playing golf
myself on Sunday afternoon so it is unlikely that there will be regular
updates. Final scores and totals will be available when play finishes
(after 7pm).
