Louise Kenney leads nine Scots

into match-play stages

Fife supply schoolteacher Louise Kenney led the nine Scottish qualifiers into Thursday's match-play stages of the Ladies British open amateur golf championship at Royal St David’s Golf Club, Harlech in North Wales.
But the new champions of Scotland - Megan Briggs, England - Charlie Douglass, Ireland - Lisa Maguire, and Wales - Tara Davies all failed to make it.
Kenney, with her hayfever tablets kicking in to stop her nose and eyes from running, shot a par-matching 73 for a two-under-par total of 144.
That was six shots behind the two Arizona States University students from Spain – Carlota Ciganda and Azahara Munoz, who topped the leaderboard on eight-under-par 138 and are seeded to meet in Saturday afternoon’s 18-hole final.
Ciganda, who won this title in 2007 as a 17-year-old but did not defend last year, had a 68 on a day when what wind there was came from a different direction compared with Crieff’s Roseanne Niven, home from the University of California for the summer and finding the consistent form that eluded her during the 2008-2009 US college circuit, had a 74 for 147.
Curtis Cup teenager Carly Booth (Comrie), who will be 17 on Sunday, looked on her way out when she took 42 shots to the turn but she showed her class by romping home in 34 for a 76 and a total of 148.
The other Scots who will figure in the match-play stages are Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle), Jane Turner (Craigielaw), Sally Watson (Elie & Earlsferry) and Emily Ogilvy (Auchterarder) – all on 150 – Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) on 152 and Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) on 153.
Kylie escaped by one shot having to go out for a play-off featuring the nine players who finished on 154. They went into extra time to dispute the last six places in the draw.
New Scottish champion Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm), on 157, failed to survive the cut – but so too did the other domestic title winners in recent weeks – Lisa Maguire (Ireland), Charlie Douglass (England) and Tara Davies (Wales).
Laura Murray (Alford) missed out on 155, Katy McNicoll (Carnoustie) with 158 and Rebecca Watson (Holston Hills) with 164.
Scotland – represented by Roseanne Niven, Pamela Pretswell and Kylie Walker - did well to finish third behind Spain and Sweden in the international team event.
