Ricoh Women's British Open Final Qualifying at St Andrews
LAURA ENDS THE MARATHON PLAY-OFF
WITH BIRDIE 3 TO BE 1st ALTERNATE
The 14-strong play-off at the end of the Final Qualifying Round of the Ricoh Women's British Open was concluded early this morning at the New Course.
Gillian Kirkwood reports:
"At 8am this morning Laura Cabanillas (Spain) had a birdie 3 at the fifth play-off hole (the first on the New Course) to take first alternate spot from Karen Lunn (Australia).
"Laura drove into the right rough, Karen down the left on the fairway. Laura's ball came up short on the apron of the green, maybe 30-40ft from the pin. Karen put hers pin-high on the right, about the same distance.
"Laura putted first over the tricky contours and her ball just had enough pace to fall in the hole for a 3. Karen's putt now looked 60 ft and as soon as she hit it she knew it wasn't in."
