Dutch girl lunchtime leader on 149
on a better day at North Berwick
Improved conditions – less wind and no rain, at least for the morning starters – led to a general improvement in the scores for the second qualifying round of the Ladies’ British Open amateur championship over the North Berwick links today.
Sweden’s 19-year-old Jacqueline Hedwall, whose twin sister Caroline was the overnight leader with a 68, set the early clubhouse target with a two-over-par 74 for 151.
Jacqueline starts a four-year golf scholarship at the Louisiana State University in the autumn while Caroline will be enrolling at Oklahoma State.
Jacqueline was later headed by Marieke Nivard from the Netherlands with a 76 for 149.
St Rule Trophy winner Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) had a 75 – a two-shot improvement on Wednesday – for a 36-hole tally of 152.
One shot behind her were Belen Mozo (Spain), Sahra Hassan (Vale of Glamorgan) and Lesley Nicholson (Haddington).
Mozo missed last year’s championship at Alwoodley, Leeds after completing the British girls’ and British ladies’ titles double in Northern Ireland in 2006.
She shaved five shots off her opening round with a 74 for 153.
Curtis Cup reserve Sarah Hassan (Vale of Glamorgan) made an even bigger improvement, coming down from 80 to 73 for 153.
Former Scottish women’s open stroke-play and past Scottish girls’ open stroke-play champion Lesley Nicholson (Haddington) followed up her first-round 79 with a 74 for 153.
