Kylie in tune to land overdue home win!

Kylie Walker claimed her first win on home soil having previously triumphed in Australia, the Netherlands and Germany as a professional.

The 28-year-old from Glasgow has finally got off the mark in her native Scotland following her four-stroke triumph at the PGA in Scotland's Ladies Tartan Tour 36-hole competition at Deer Park Golf and Country Club.

Walker had three late bogeys in a windy first-round 74, but even though it was still quite blustery, she eliminated the mistakes to return a bogey-free, four-birdie 68 second round for a two-under-par total of 142.

The Scot won by four shots from Australia's Stacey Keating (Victoria GC) who had scores of 74 and 72 (38-34) for 146.

Overnight leader Laura Murray (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre) finished third on 147 (72-75) after an outward 37 saw Walker make up three shots on her.

Joint fourth on 148 were Vikki Laing (Kings Acre), whose second-round, two-under-par 70 was bettered only by the winner, and another Lothians player, Jane Turner (West Linton).

"I’m delighted with my win,” she said.

“I played really solid in Tuesday's first round in the really tough conditions but dropped a few shots towards the end so I was happy to have a bogey-free round in the blustery weather.

"The field was really quite strong, so I'm proud to have won. It's great we have a lot of English girls making the effort to come up and play the Ladies Tartan Tour. Also the LET girls from further afield supporting the tour on weeks off is brilliant. 

"Deer Park was a great venue and in fantastic condition." 

The penultimate event on the Ladies Tartan Tour is over two rounds at Marriott Dalmahoy, Edinburgh on June 24-25.

That will be the last tournament for players to gain Order of Merit points before the final tournament, the Paul Lawrie Ladies Invitational at Deeside Golf Club on September 15-16.

Entry to that will be restricted to the top 20 players in the Order of Merit after Dalmahoy.
