Scotland are through in fifth place and face Italy tomorrow
SCOTLAND qualified in fifth place for the top match-play flight of the
European junior women's team golf championship at Moscow Golf and Country
Club, Russia yesterday (Wed).
England, who had been second last in the field of 13 countries after one
round, pulled themselves up to qualify in sixth place with an 18-shot
improvement compared with the opening day team total (370 to 388).
The Scots did not have so many scores in the low 70s as they had in the
first qualifying round. British girls champion Clare Queen was the exception.
Her score of 72 was five ahead of next best Vikki Laing and Pam Feggans,
both on 77, with Louise Kenney and Susannah Laing the other counting scores
on 78.
Jenna Wilson had the discarded score of 81 under the best five from six
to count format.
Scotland's second-round team total was 382 compared with 374 in the first
round.
Germany earned the No 1 seed berth with a total of 728, six ahead of Spain
with Sweden third on 749 and Italy, the defending champions, fourth on
753.
Italy are Scotland's opponents in the first round of the sudden death
match-play today (Thu).
Wales and Ireland finished 10th and last of 13 respectively and will play
in the second (non-championship) flight.
