COUNTBACK TO QUALIFY

Former Scottish girls golf champion Ailsa Bain from Peebles and 31 male assistant professionals qualified today (Monday) for the Shotts Young Professionals' 54-hole stroke-play tournament on August 17-18.

Ailsa, who did well to recover from a triple bogey 7 at the third and a double bogey 6 at the fourth with birdies at the 10th and 18th,  was one of five players on the 80 mark in the 18-hole eliminating competition at Shotts Golf Club and only two could qualify. 
Currently without a club attachment, she made it through on a card countback along with Allan Todd (Prestwick).

Top qualifier with a one-over-par 71 was Alan Welsh (Cathkin Braes), a shot ahead of Cameron Marr (Musselburgh), Kamran Zeynalov (Paul Lawrie GC) and Callum Beveridge (West Kilbride).
