WELSH LADIES CHSHIP OF EUROPE
KATHRYN AND JULIE ONLY SCOTS TO MAKE
THE CUT IN WELSH LADIES CHAMPIONSHIP
Kathryn Imrie and Julie Forbes were the only Scots to make the 36-hole cut in the Welsh Ladies Championship of Europe at Machynys Peninsula Golf Club today.
Kathryn had a pair of 70s for a share of 17th place on 140. Julie scored 71 and 70 for 141.
Only players with 144 and better are still in the tournament.
Amateur Heather MacRae missed out on 147 (74-73) as did Curtis Cup player Tara Delaney wiht 77 and 71 for 148.
Lynn Kenny took just one shot too many with 71 and 74 for 145.
Inverness-based New Zealander Liz McKinnon scored 75 and 74 for 149 - two shots better than Clare Queen's 78 and 73 total.
Dale Reid, making a rare playing appearance these days, failed to qualify on 153 (75-78).
At the top of the leaderboard, there are hopes of a home Welsh win for Becky Brewerton from Abergele. She shares the lead at 10-under-par 134 with rounds of 65 and 69.
Linda Wessberg (Sweden) is joint leader with a pair of 67s.
One shot behind in a tie for third place are Amanda Moltke-Leth (Denmark (68-67), Helen Alfredsson (Sweden) (67-68) and Laura Davies (66-69).
Amateur Sophie Walker, who might have strengthened the GB&I Curtis Cup team had she been selected, shared the first-round lead after a super 65. She dropped back to a share of sixth place on 136 with a 71.
Breanne Loucks, who did play in the Curtis Cup, has done well with 70 and 71 for 141.
Yet another Curtis Cup player, 17-year-old English amateur champion Kiran Matharu, made her debut as a professional in this tournament. She beat the cut - which is a good start to her pro career - with two rounds of 70 for 140.
