BRITISH WOMEN'S OPEN AMATEUR STROKE
CARLY BOOTH (14) IN SIXTH PLACE AT SANDWICH
FOURTEEN-year-old Perthshire prodigy Carly Booth achieved her best finish outwith junior golf when she tied for sixth place in the British women’s open amateur stroke-play championship at Prince’s Golf Club, Sandwich in Kent today.
Scottish Under-16 girls champion Carly pulled herself up into the top 10 with two one-under-par rounds of 72 on the final day for an aggregate of 299.
Carly is the only British or Irish player to earn a place in the European team for next month's Junior Ryder Cup match against the United States at Celtic manor.
Anna Rossi became the first Italian to win the stroke-play championship – first played in 1969 – by scoring six under par over the final 36 holes. Two rounds of 70 gave her a two-under-par total of 290 and a one-shot win from the overnight leader, Rachel Bell (Ganton).
Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) did not do so well on the final day and scores of 77 and 75 put her on 302 and a share of 12th place.
Jenna Wilson (Strathaven) tied for 19th place on 305, four shots ahead of defending champion Heather MacRae (Dunblane New).
Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) saved her best until last, a closing 71 for 310 and joint 29th place.
