Lynn Kenny leads Scots with a 68 in Sweden

Felicity Johnson masters Gothenburg
with a 10-under-par 62 opener

FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
England’s Felicity Johnson shot a course record ten-under-par 62 to lead by two strokes after the first round of the Göteborg Masters at Lycke Golf Club, Gothenburg.
The 21-year-old second year tour player from Harborne near Birmingham had the best round of her life, firing eight birdies and an eagle on a chilly day on Sweden’s west coast. Her closest challenger was Spaniard Paula Marti on eight-under 64, with Swedish rookie Lena Tornevall on 65.
Johnson, who has twice tied for third on the Ladies European Tour, at the 2007 Northern Ireland Ladies Open and at the ANZ Ladies Masters in Australia in February, went out in four-under 34 and came home in six-under 31.
After knocking in birdie putts from 25 feet and two feet at the second and third holes respectively, she chipped in from 15 yards right of the green for eagle at the 290-yard par-four fourth hole.
She fired four straight birdies from the 12th before signing off with two more at the 17th and 18th.
“Ten shots under par, no dropped shots: you can’t ask for too much more than that really,” said Johnson. “It is my best ever score and 65 was my lowest before that. I didn’t put myself in any trouble and made life easy, which was good. I still left a couple out there but I’m not going to be too greedy on the first day.”
Marti, the 2002 order of merit winner and a two-time winner on the LET, fired nine birdies and just one bogey at the 16th. She was pleased to have continued the strong vein of form that has seen her post five top-ten finishes in 2008.
“The key today was that I made birdie on every single par-5,” said Marti. “I only made one mistake when I had a sand wedge in my hand but made bogey on that hole. Other than that I played great. I was very consistent, down the fairway, down the green.
"On two par-3s, one was a gimme and one was a metre and a half on the ninth to finish off with. I am feeling good. I have playing well the whole year. I put everything together and shot a good round so I’m very confident now.”
Tornevall’s 65 was her career-low round. The 27-year-old carded eight birdies, one eagle, one bogey and one double bogey. She is trying to avoid a return to qualifying school, having made just two cuts from 12 starts so far in 2008.
“There are only two events left and I feel I better take my chance now,” Tornevall said. “I don’t think I will get into Dubai and I haven’t decided if I will go to Asia. It depends on what happens over the next two weeks. There is nothing to lose. If I shot 80 today it couldn’t get any worse so I better take the chances I get over the next two weeks.”
Gwladys Nocera of France, who has won three events this year, was joined on 66 by Spain’s Marta Prieto, Finland’s Ursula Wikstrom and Germany’s Anja Monke.
A group of five players finished the day a shot further back on 67: England’s Lora Fairclough, Ireland’s Rebecca Coakley, Spain’s Laura Cabanillas, French rookie Caroline Afonso and Swedish SAS Masters Tour player Sanna Johansson.
Meanwhile Sweden’s Helen Alfredsson did not manage to master her own course on day one. The Evian Masters champion opened with a 73 to sit 11 shots off the pace.

German pips Susan Dye at first extra hole

Lorna Bennett just misses out on

place in play-off for Senior

British open amateur title

Germany's Chris Utermarck is the new Senior British women's open amateur golf champion. Chris, a member of the Berlin-Wannsee club and fourth in this year's European senior women's individual championship at Vilamoura, beat English senior title-holder Susan Dye from Delamere Forest at the first hole of a sudden-death play-off after they had tied on 231 at the end of three rounds over a very wet Hilton Templepatrick course near Belfast.
The fact that both play-off participants were 18 over par at the finish underlines how muddy and how difficult the conditions were.
Dye ran up a triple bogey 8 at the third and a double bogey 6 in her last round of 80 which was not good enough to protect her overnight lead.
Utermarck had only one birdie over the three rounds and none at all in her final round.
Scottish seniors match-play champion Lorna Bennett (Ladybank), pictured above by Cal Carson Golf Agency (all rights reserved), finished with a 76 for 232 - one shot away from getting into the play-off.
Lorna had a double bogey 7 at the long third but came back into contention with birdies at the fifth and 14th. But for late bogeys, at the 16th and 18th, she could have been champion. As it was she finished on the same total as Janet Collingham (Sherwood) who was officially placed third and Bennett fourth after a comparison of their third rounds. Janet finished with a 75.
First-round leader Fiona De Vries finished sixth on 235 after closing with an 83 which included double bogeys at the fifth, eighth and 12th and late bogeys at the 15th, 16th and 17th in halves of 43 and 40.
Diane Williams (Canada), winner of the British seniors title in 1994 and 20th overall on 245 this year, was the winner of the 60 to 64 years age group.
Viveca Hoff (Sweden), joint seventh on 237. was the winner of the 55 to 59 years age group.
Jane Rees (Hendon), who finished fifth with 232, won the 50 to 54 years age group.
Holly Horwood from Canada won the prize for the lowest score of the championship - a three-over-par 74 in the final round.

VIKKI DIGS IN WITH A 71 IN CALIFORNIA

Vikki Laing consolidated her position within the top 20 with a third-round 71 - her best score so far - to be lying joint 17th on level par 216 in the LPGA Tour School Sectional Qualifier at Rancho Mirage, California.
The top 30 and ties after one more round will advance to the Final Q School at Daytona Beach, Florida from December 3 to 7.
South Korean Sun-Ju Ahn has been joined in the lead at 12-under-par 204 by Swedish amateur Anna Nordqvist, winner of the British women's open amateur title at North Berwick in June.
Nordqvist had a third-round 67 while Ahn had a 72.
Michelle Weir scored a 74 to drop to fourth position on 209.

STIGGY OUTCLASSES DUKE OF YORK
YOUNG CHAMPIONS' FIELD

BY LUKE NORMAN, Tournament Press Officer
No one could live with wire-to-wire champion Stiggy Hodgson as he proved a class apart at the final round of the 2008 Duke of York Young Champions Trophy at Dundonald Links. The 18-year-old Englishman from Sunningdale ended this most prestigious international tournament a staggering 11 shots clear of his nearest challenger, Arnaud Abbas of France.
Nairn Dunbar's Kelsey MacDonald continued to find the going tough after shooting the second lowest score of the tournament on the opening day.
The reigning Scottish Under-21 girls' champion struggled as the wind got up and the rain increased and she closed with an 82 to tie for 13th place overall at 16-over-par for 54 holes.
“It’s been a great week and such fun but I am really disappointed,” said MacDonald. “I got a little tense and a little nervous but I’ll bounce back!”
Aberdeen's David Law kept battling after a disappointing opening round of 84, as he finished in a creditable 20th position.
Fellow Scot Mark Bookless, who won the Scottish boys' open stroke-play at Blairgowrie a few weeks ago, never quite got going and ended up tied 27th.
However, it was Hodgson who was undoubtedly the star of the tournament as he finished with a 54-hole total of 212, four-under par. The reigning Carris Trophy and McEvoy Trophy winner took the tournament by the scruff of its neck in the opening round with a three-under-par 69 and despite the increasingly difficult conditions, he rarely looked in any difficulty. A measure of the hampion’s quality was that he was the only person to keep a double-bogey off his card.over the three rounds.
“I’m absolutely delighted to win a tournament as big as this, this is incredibly special, it’s one of the four biggest junior tournaments in the world” smiled Hodgson.

“It may not have looked like it but there was lots of nerves and tension about today but I knew if I didn’t loose concentration I would win.”
With 51 competitors from 28 countries it was stories like that of Vasin Sripattranusorn that captured the essence of junior golf’s biggest international tournament. The Thailand’s Boys Champion battled the utterly foreign conditions, climate and language to finish in a tie for fourth. “It was so cool, I met the Duke of York and learnt to play in the wind and rain!” Exactly Vasin.

Yorkshire win County Finals with a day to spare

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION
Yorkshire won the English counties championship with a day to spare when they defeated Leicestershire & Rutland 6-3 at Long Ashton in Gloucestershire today.
It was their fourth victory from four matches played so far this week and they can’t be caught by any of the other five competing teams.
Their success also sets a new record because Yorkshire are the only team to win this title five years in a row. But records and the overall victory were far from the mind of Yorkshire training officer Joy Hunter as she watched the team play.
“We have never looked ahead at any stage of the week. Each day we have tried to get three wins in the foursomes and then tried to win the singles. We take it one step at a time.
“I am thrilled with the way the girls have played – but we want to win tomorrow as well. We will be going all out for our fifth win of the week.”
The Yorkshire players edged ahead of Leicestershire & Rutland with two wins from the tight foursomes matches. In the afternoon Nikki Dunn quickly scored the first singles point when she won her match on the 13th. Emma Brown soon secured another point and Ellie Robinson made certain of the win when she closed out her match 4 and 3.
Helen Searle boosted the scoreline further when she won on the 18th.
Leicestershire & Rutland were cheered by the performance of their 15-year-old champion, Jamie-Leigh Voss, who beat England international Naomi Edwards, and by Kym Larratt who defeated Sara Garbutt.
Tracy Bourne, the Leicestershire & Rutland captain, paid tribute to all her players. “They are absolutely fantastic. I don’t think anyone will ever beat us for team spirit. Now we’re going all out for second place.”
Her team are currently sharing second place with Hertfordshire, who defeated Dorset 6 ½- 2½ . Both counties have 2½ points from four matches.
Hertfordshire captain Jaki White is looking forward to the tussle for second place. “We’ve had a good week and all the girls have worked very hard. We will be going all out for a win tomorrow. We know we can do it and we are looking forward to the challenge.”
Meanwhile Warwickshire scored their second win of the week when they defeated Sussex 6½-2½ and are also in the hunt for runners-up honours.
County captain Bev Belcher , who has four 14-year-olds in her team, commented; “We began the week with matches against Hertfordshire and Yorkshire which was a difficult start for a young and inexperienced side. But we have now had two good days and got two points which we really deserve.”
Dorset have yet to score but captain Pip Duncan was delighted with the efforts of her young side which produced 2½ singles points in their match against Sussex.
