A MEMBER of Grange Park Golf Club is celebrating after winning the Lancashire Ladies County Championship final.

The contest took place at Manchester Golf Club with Lauren Green hitting all the right shots and finishing at the top of the leaderboard, becoming county champion for the second time in three years.

The 21-year-old former Rainford High School and Carmel College student was an impressive three shots under par through the 36 qualifying rounds, which was six shots better than her nearest rival Emily Byrne from Formby Ladies.

She achieved the best gross scores in both the qualifying rounds, winning the Carr Gold Medal for the best morning round score and reducing her handicap to +0.6.

In the knockout matchplay stages, Lauren, who is currently home from her studies at Indiana State University in America, beat Emily James 6&5 in the semi final before going on to beat Kirsty Field 5&4 in the final.
