Home countries' disappointment in Norway

SCOTLAND, ENGLAND, IRELAND AND WALES
ALL FAIL TO MAKE CHAMPIONSHIP FLIGHT

Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales all failed to qualify for the championship match-play flight of eight teams for the European girls’ team golf championship at Oslo Golf Club, Norway today.
The Scots – Carly Booth (Comrie), Sally Watson (Elie & Earlsferry), Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) and Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) – finished the 36-hole stroke-play eliminator with a 23-over-par total of 455.
That was seven shots too many to make the top eight.
England (450) just missed out in ninth place and Ireland (451) were 10th ahead of 11th placed Scotland with Wales (488) last of the 19 competing countries.
Carly Booh was Scotland’s best second-round performer with a 74 for a total of 149, which put her joint 22nd in the individual standings.
Kelsey MacDonald and Sally Watson tied for 29TH place on 153. Kelsey had a 73 in the second round, Sally a 78.
Krystle Caithness, expected to be the dominant force for these Scotland Under-18s, again failed to produce anything like the form which has earned her a place in the Great Britain & Ireland women’s team for the Vagliano Trophy match against the Continent at Fairmont St Andrews at the end of the month.
Krystle had the non-counting score for the second day in a row – a 78 for 157, which put her joint 54th in the standings.
