HEIDI HIGH ON THE LIST IN ENGLISH GIRLS'
UNDER-15 CHAMPIONSHIP
Suffolk’s Heidi Baek set the first-round pace in the English girls’ U15 championship at Brickendon Manor in Hertfordshire today.
The 13-year-old from Felixstowe Ferry scored a four-over par 76. She finished one shot ahead of a group which includes defending champion Kelly Tidy (Manchester) and the 2006 English Under-13 champion Alex Peters (Notts Ladies).
Afterwards Heidi remarked: “I was pleased overall. I played the front nine well but made too many bogeys on the back nine. But that’s golf isn’t it!”
She added: “It’s lovely conditions, really sunny and calm and it’s a very nice course.”
Heidi, who plays off four, is a Suffolk first team player and won the South-east of England schools’ championship earlier this season.
After Wednesday's second round the field will be cut to the leading 36 players and ties who will play the final 36 holes of the championship on Thursday.
Leading scores:
76 Heidi Baek (Felixstowe Ferry).
77 Miranda Brain (Gog Magog), Hayley Davis (Ferndown), Alex Peters (Notts Ladies), Kelly Tidy (Manchester).
78 Jessica Bradley (Tiverton).
79 Sophie Godley (Renishaw Park), Helen Searle (West End).
80 Bronwyn Davies (Wolstanton), Charlotte Thomas (West Surrey).
