A three-hole deficit is not insurmountable and with honours even at the tenth, both ladies scoring par 4's, could the match swing either way?
Alex certainly had the upper hand. And it was then she moved up a gear. A birdie at 11 was set up by a superb approach ...a solid three-wood second shot at 12 followed by an eagle putt put Alex 5 up as the ladies returned to the traditional part of the Links Course.
Again, both players split the fairway with their drives ...both players failed to find the green with somewhat average approaches. Helen felt she had to attack, but her aggressive next shots would cost her a bogey five. Meanwhile Alex chipped to 6 feet and the trusty putter did the rest.
A 6&5 win is the official result, but that does not reflect the margin in real terms. Helen played solidly putting up a strong fight; she only made one real error. Unfortunately she was against an opponent who was at the top of her game on the green.
All in all, it was an excellent final, played in a very friendly manner and a great advert for ladies golf at Kilmarnock (Barassie) Golf Club.
