British girls' tees off in rain at 6.30am

The British girls' open amateur championship teed off in murky light and a steady drizzle at West Lancashire Golf club this morning.
Because of the size of the field - 144 competitors - the first tee off time was 6.30am with Isabal Jimenez Perea from Spain striking the first ball of the championship.
Ladies Golf Union staff were at the course before 5am to get things ready for the Under-18 girls' flagship tournament.
The last players twill tee off at 3.23pm.
There will be a second qualifying round on Tuesday with the leading 64 players - a play-off will be held Tuesday evening if necessary to obtain the precise number - going forward to the match-plays stages on Wednesday through to Friday afternoon's 18-hole final.
