BOGEY MAN COMES BACK TO HAUNT
CARLY IN FLORIDA JUNIOR CLASSIC
A double bogey 6 as early as the third hole ultimately cost Carly Booth, the 14-year-old top golf prospect from Perthshire, victory over an international field in the Mission Inn Junior Classic over the Las Colinas course at Howey-in-the-Hills near Orlando, Florida (at the weekend).
Carly, a golf scholarship student at the IMG David Leadbetter Golf Academy at Bradenton, Florida, had rounds of 72 and 72 for a four-over-par total of 144.
She finished runner-up, pipped by one stroke, by Doris Chen from Taiwan. Doris scored 71 and 72 for 143.
Carly's early double-bogey 6 came back to haunt her even though she thought she had more than cancelled it out with a birdie 2 at the short 12th followed by an eagle 3 at the 425yd 13th for an inward half of 33 in her first round.
But Miss Booth, a Junior Ryder Cup player from Comrie, could manage only one birdie in her second round and bogeyed the second, 14th and 15th for halves of 35-37 and a 72.
