Ricoh British Women's Open Qualifying

Auchterarder's Emily Ogilvy was the only Scot to survive the Ricoh Women's British Open pre-qualifier over the Blue Course at The Berkshire on Monday.

English amateur Charlotte Ellis headed the field with a stunning six under par 66.
Elliss carded eight birdies and two bogeys in testing conditions to finish five shots ahead of fellow English competitors Danielle Montgomery, Rachel Connor and Naomi Edwards.
Henrietta Zuel – formerly Brockway – shared fifth place with Sweden’s Pernilla Lindberg on level par 72.

“It’s the first time I’ve been able to play without pain since cracking a rib in May,” said a delighted Ellis. “I’ve been doing a lot of short game practice recently so it’s good to see it’s paying off.”
A total of 25 competitors who finished on 75 or better progress to the Final Qualifying event to be staged at The Berkshire on July 28th where the top 18 finishers will earn places in the Ricoh Women’s British Open which starts at Sunningdale on July 31st.
