Heather MacRae also had cause to celebrate in her own backyard of Gleneagles as she edged out Dominic Bradburn by one hole to win the PGA in Scotland’s Matchplay Singles Final.
Three-up at the turn, an advantage aided by a chip-in on the 10th, MacRae was pegged back to all-square by the 16th but edged ahead again as a nip-and-tuck encounter came to a tense finale.
Despite her unquenchable thirst for competition, MacRae has admitted that she won’t be returning to the Ladies European Tour qualifying school this year and will focus her energies in 2024 on The PGA scene.
“The Women’s PGA Cup is a huge goal of mine for 2024,” she said. “I’m leading the qualifying rankings and it’s double points next year so that’s the target for me.
“I had my second wind on the Ladies European Tour and I’m now looking at the next chapter of my career. That’s why I’m not going back to q-school. I’ll focus on The PGA stuff. I’m 40 now too and, as my dad always says, I need to grow up at some point!”
In the Matchplay Fourball Final, meanwhile, the pairing of Ross Cameron and Tom Higson took the honours as they eased to a 5&4 victory over James Dick and Scott Grieve.
