Top 21 in Ladies' Tartan Tour OM table will play in Paul Lawrie Invitational double header 

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
The field for the final event on the 2015 Ladies Tartan Tour - the Paul Lawrie Ladies Invitational/Tour Championship - at Deeside Golf Club, Aberdeen on September 15 and 16 will be limited to only 21 players.

This is the first time there will be both a men's and ladies' Invitational supported by Paul Lawrie and both events will be held at the same time and at the same venue. 

The 54 hole Paul Lawrie Invitational Tartan Tour event is September 15-17 - and the 36 hole Ladies Invitational (which doubles up as the Tour Championship with the Stewart Spence Trophy going to the winner) is on the 15th - 16th.

The 21 lady pros who will make up the field for the Ladies Invitational will be decided by the Ladies Tartan Tour Order of Merit, which provides an incentive for competitors to enter the first four events.

We have ticked off the ones at Murcar Links (April 1 and 2), won by Michele Thomson, and Montrose Links, won by Maria Tulley.

That leaves Deer Park, Livingston (June 2 and 3) and Marriott Dalmahoy (June 24 and 25) in which Order of Merit points can be gained.

The Order of Merit table after the first two events reads:

1515 Michele Thomson

1375 Maria Tulley

1350 Beth Allen

1275 Laura Murray

1100 Kiran Matharu

1030 Lucy  Goddard, Jane Turner

900 Heather MacRae

850 Annabel Dimmock

815 Gabriella Cowley

795 Becky Brewerton

700 Trish Johnson

650 Chloe Rogers, Kelsey MacDonald

620 Jess Wilcox

585 Tracy Boyes

535 Sarah Attwood

525 Rachel Drummond

520 Gillian Pato

460 Alyson McKechin

425 Kelly Chieratico

419 Nichola Ferguson

495 Jorden Ferrie

395 Kirstin Scott

290 Nastja Banovec

280 Emilee Taylor

270 Lisa Shaw
