Record Win For Loveys

Published in:

What can safely be described as the most comprehensive win in the short history of the Glenmuir Women's PGA Professional Championship unfolded at Dundonald Links.

On yet another day of fierce winds the defending champion, Tracy Loveys, added her second battling 77 for a 154 aggregate, leaving the South Devon pro all of 13 strokes ahead of twice previous winner, Alison Gray from Ormskirk.

Tracy, whose busy life at Bigbury, the picturesque coastal course near Plymouth, includes running the pro's shop, organising competitions and teaching, buckled down at 7.30 this morning to take on the Ayrshire elements.

A front nine of 36, level par, was outstanding, comprising two birdies and two bogeys. A five-iron second shot at the par-four second hole ended two feet from the hole, and downwind at the dogleg seventh, she needed only a sand wedge for her second, holing from 15 feet.

"I feel great, and certainly didn't expect to win by so much", admitted Loveys, whose victory was worth £1,000.
