Ailsa Summers (Carnoustie Ladies) finished as the leading Scot in a share of 21st place behind the impressive winner of the British women's open amateur stroke-play championship, 17-year-old Aditi Ashok from Bangalore, India.

She shot an 11-under-par aggregate of 285 with scores of 71, 73, 70 and 71 over a par-74 course to win by four shots from Sweden's Linn Andersson.
Summers had scores of 81, 74,75 and 75 for 304.
Chloe Goadby (St Regulus) finished joint 28th on 310 (75-75-76-84)
The only other Scot to beat the halfway cut, Jennifer Saxton (Muckhart) had scores of 76, 78, 80 and 85 for 319 and 38th place.
