McLean-Tattan shines brightest at Flogas final
Romford golfer Zoe McClean-Tattan said she was thrilled to finally get her hands on some silverware as she won the Flogas Irish Girls' Amateur Open Championship at Corrstown. The 17-year-old backed up rounds of 69 and 73 with a 74 on Sunday which was enough for -3 total and a three-shot victory over her playing partner Daisy Lee (Lancaster). McLean-Tattan bogeyed the first hole but she laid the platform for victory with birdies on the third and fifth. Two more were taken from the eighth and eleventh and despite a bogey on the 16th and a double-bogey on the last, she had enough in reserve to bring home the main prize. 'It's amazing, it's what I've wanted for a while,' said McLean-Tattan. 'It's nice that it is real and it will give me lots of momentum into the rest of the season as well. 'It's nice to know that you have won something and it's not just said. It's enjoyable.' Lee looked to have been the biggest challenge all day and after a solid front nine, which included seven pars and two birdies she was still in contention. A chip-in eagle on the 15th ensured there was still something to play for on 17 but she faltered on the green and double-bogeyed that Par 3. Their other playing partner, Eva Mooslechner (GC Radstadt) finished back on +3 alongside Moyola Park golfer Kayleigh Mulholland. Lee and Liliya Favre (ASGI) had the joint-best rounds of the day with 71, while Lee won the U-16 title, five shots clear of the Swiss. Noreen O'Neill (Connemara) was crowned champion in the best net category, she finished on -9. However, McLean-Tattan won the overall prize, and as she prepares for a busy schedule which includes the St Rule Trophy and the Flogas Irish Women's Amateur Open Championship, she will take plenty from her experience in Corrstown. 'It wasn't as stressful as I thought it would be. I had a good start and my last hole was the worst of it all but I knew I had enough shots in it, so I wasn't too stressed,' said McLean-Tattan. 'It is nice to know I had that (buffer) so that I could make a few mistakes here and there but if I kept getting a few birdies here and there I knew it would be okay.'
