Title-holder Tracy is halfway

towards retaining WPGA title

RON MARSHALL REPORTS
As if gales and torrential rain weren’t enough of a challenge, lightning late in the day forced the players in the opening round of the 36-hole Glenmuir WPGA Championship to come off the course at Dundonald Links, near Troon.
After a 25min delay, play resumed, and defending champion, Tracy Loveys from Bigbury, South Devon, duly established herself at the head of affairs with a five-over 77.
That left her all of five shots clear of Emma Prentice, representing Gog Magog in Cambridgeshire, while twice former champion, Alison Gray from Ormskirk in Lancashire is one stroke farther back.
Gillian Stewart, pictured above, from Inverness, the only Scot in the field, had an 86.
Scores:
77 T Loveys (Bigbury).
82 E Prentice (Gog Magog).
83 A Gray (Ormskirk).
85 R Wright (Walmley).
86 G Stewart (Gillian Stewart Golf).
87 A Keighley (Huddersfield), M Tulley (West Cornwall), L Jones (The Oaks).
