A DUO from High Legh Park Golf Club have reached the final of a national competition.

Christine McEwan and Lesley Hewison will contest the concluding stage of the American Golf Ladies' Championship after progressing through a qualifier at their home club.

Their reward is to play the Brabazon course at The Belfry, a Ryder Cup venue in the Midlands, later this year.

Following a close-fought contest at the Knutsford venue, they were edged into third spot by Preston pair Kate Clarkson and Sue Green and Esther McNeill and Jane Martin from Barlaston.

McEwan and Hewison matched the score of the latter tandem, but missed out on second place on countback.
