WEETABIX WOMEN'S BRITISH OPEN

NO SCOTS SURVIVE WOMEN’S
BRITISH OPEN QUALIFYING


Scots Kathryn Imrie, Lynn Kenny, Clare Queen and Martine Pow – as well as Inverness-based New Zealander Liz McKinnon – failed to survive the Weetabix Women’s British Open Final Qualifying round at St Annes Old Links today.
Only eight places and four reserve spots were available for the main event at Royal Lytham & St Annes, starting on Thursday.
Kathryn Imrie was joint 17th with a four-over-par 76. She started with a birdie but could not conjure up any more to cancel out the bogeys that followed.
Lynn Kenny had a double-bogey at the eighth in an outward half of 40 on her way to a 77.
Liz McKinnon birdied two of the first five holes but had three 6s on her scorecard after that, including a double-bogey at the eighth. The Kiwi finished on 79.
Drumpellier’s Clare Queen had a disappointing 79 with halves of 43 and 36. She had double bogey 7s at the fifth and sixth. Birdies at the 10th, 11th and 16th came too late to turn things around.
Martine Pow (Selkirk), the British women’s mid-amateur and Scottish women’s amateur champion, had a triple bogey 6 at the short 16th in her 82.
