CARLY BOOTH LEADS BY TWO SHOTS IN
DAILY TELEGRAPH GIRLS' FINAL IN DUBAI
FROM THE DAILY TELEGRAPH WEBSITE
Adam Wills and Andrew Cooley were the only players to break par 71 in exhausting heat on the opening day of the Daily Telegraph Junior Golf Championship at Dubai Creek yesterday.
Wills, from Cheshire, chipped in at the last to join Surrey's Cooley on one under for the 54-hole tournament. "That made up for missing two short birdie putts on the previous two holes," he said.
Cooley also birdied the 421-yard 18th after two consecutive bogeys had undermined the good work he had done in birdieing the 11th and 13th. The pair hold a three-stroke lead over the other 10 boys competing for the prestigious annual prize.

Scottish prospect Carly Booth, 15, justified her tag of favourite for the girls' event although she was not happy with a round of 74 to lead by two strokes. "I should have been six under," she said.
