Julie also had a solitary birdie, at the 11th, and bogeyed the second, fourth and 12th.

Inverness-based New Zealader Liz McKinnon is in joint114th place after a six-over-par 77 which included bogeys at the third, fourth, fifth, eight, 16th and 18th. She had a double bogey at the ninth in reaching the turn in 40. She did have two birdies, at the seventh and 15th.

Germany's Anja Monke and Spain's Ana B Sanchez are setting the pace on seven-under-par 64.
