The first day ...

Although sunny, the strong winds played havoc with many shots out on the course and club selection was key to reaching the greens.  Callum ended up 9 over par and in a 3 way tie for 6th  which meant he found himself out in the first group for the next day but only 5 shots behind so anything could happen.

Ella started with a great birdie on the first and then held it together the rest of the way finishing up in 2nd place overnight at 4 over par 3 shots back of the leader.  This was a great result given she had to recover from big trouble off the tee on the 6th and meant she made the final group the next day.

The final day ...

The wind had calmed down from the previous afternoon's blustery conditions but still affected play on day two out there.

Callum's impressive second round score of 3 over par propelled him from his overnight placing straight up to being tied for 3rd but winning on count back to secure his 3rd spot finish.  With 9 talented young boys in his group, it was a great achievement to finish only 3 shots back of the winner in what was Callum's first appearance at a Wee Wonders final.

With Callum playing in the group behind Ella, the Ofstedahl & Walker familes had a chance to keep an eye on both player's during the morning's play.  We knew Callum was doing well as he kept coming over to tell us and we had trouble keeping him inside the roped off course!  Great fun though and it was obvious he was enjoying himself at St Andrews.

As for Ella, she again birdied the first hole and after another birdie at the 3rd had clawed herself a shot closer to the lead.  A par on the 7th was enough to get another shot back and a few minutes later the 3 players in the final group found themselves on the 9th green, each with a putt to win.  Ella just missed hers and tapped in for par leaving her on 31, one over for the day.  Ella's putt was followed by the overnight leader's who also missed but it was then the girl from Wales who took her opportunity by making her birdie putt to leave all three players tied on 5 over par for the competition.  However, with a level par 30 on the last day, the title went to the Welsh girl leaving Ella in second and the overnight leader from England south back in 3rd.  A fantastic (and extremely tense) finish on the final green.

Well done to both Callum and Ella who will be great ambassadors for the Tigers while over in America.
