Carly leading girls' field in European
Young Masters despite late bogeys
The European Young Masters' girls' trophy is not going to be easily removed from the grasp of Comrie 16-year-old Carly Booth.
The Curtis Cup player from Perthshire ended the first day of her title defence at Chantilly Golf Club, France, still in the No 1 position she occupied at the end of last year's championship.
Carly shot a one-over-par 72 to lead by one from Anna Arrese (Spain) but the Scot was not over the moon about that effort.
Out in three-under-par 33 with birdies at the fourth, sixth and ninth, Carly had the chance to spreadeagle the field of 49 girls. But she let the golden chance slip through her fingers with bogeys at the 13th, 16th, 17th and 18th.
Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm), the other Scot in the field, had a disappointing 84 after double bogeys at the first and fourth and not a single birdie in sight in halves of 44 and 40. She will start the second round in joint 37th place.
In the boys' championship at Chantilly, Andrew McLachlan from Bonnyton is sharing 11th place after a four-over-par 75 while Jack Scott (Deeside) is tied for 36th place after an 83.
McLachlan had birdies at the first, third and 12th and bogeys at the second, eighth, ninth and 10th but with a couple of holes to play he was only one over par. Then a triple bogey 6 at the short 17th blotted his card.
Scott never recovered from a disastrous start which saw him run up a triple bogey 7 at the second and a double bogey 5 at the short third. Out in nine-over 45, Jack did birdie the 14th but it was the one bright spot on his card.
