Fiona Norris wins third
Lanarkshire title - first
since 1992 and 1988

Mrs Fiona Norris, older sister of LPGA Tour player Mhairi McKay, has won the Lanarkshire women's county golf championship for a third time at Drumpellier Golf Club.
Fiona won by 5 and 3 against Joanna Scott (Cathkin Braes) who did well to reach her first final as 13th of the 16 match-play qualifiers.

In the morning semi-finals, Mrs Norris beat defending champion Susan Wood (Drumpellier) by 4 and 3 while Joanna Scott bt Lesley Lloyd (Hayston) 2 and 1.
Caroline Smith (Strathaven) won the Bronze championship, beating Margaret Porteous (Drumpellier) by 5 and 3 in the final.
