IRISH STAR WILL MISS HOME INTERNATIONALS TO TURN PRO FOR ASIAN TOUR

RELAND will not have Rebecca Coakley, conqueror of Curtis Cup player Alison Coffey in the final of the Irish women's closed championship in June and winner of the Irish women's open amateur stroke-play championship on Sunday, in their team for the women's home internationals at The Berkshire, Ascot from August 21 to 23.

That is because the Australian-born Miss Coakley, whose parents come from Ireland, is turning professional and will be competing in the Asian LPGA Tour Qualifying School next month. Rebecca, who has come "home" to Ireland from Australia for the past three summers, has never played for the Irish women's team. She is a member of Carlow Golf Club, which hosted last year's women's home internationals.

Miss Coakley and Martin Gillen, Beaverstown GC and a golf scholarship student at Kent State University in the United States, tied on 214, five under par for the 54-hole Irish women's open amateur stroke-play championship at Dundalk GC on Sunday. There was no provision for a play-off in the regulations for the championship which decreed that, in the event of a tie, the players' totals over the last 36 holes would decide the issue. Miss Coakley scored 65 and 75 (140) for her second and third rounds, to win the card countback against Miss Gillen's 69 and 72 for 141. A card countback, whether it is over one or two rounds, or better inward half, is never a satisfactory way to decide any tournament, let along a big championship and the Irish Ladies Golf Union may decide to change the competition rules before next year's event. "We may have to think about introducing a play-off in the event of a tie as we had on Sunday," said Teresa Thompson, secretary of the ILGU .
