QUOTE FROM SCOTTISH CHAMPION AILSA SUMMERS

                           (Carnoustie Ladies and graduate of St Andrews University)

"Just finished my practice round. It's a course  I've got to know well over the years as there is an annual university event held here in March and it's a course I really enjoy.

"I have always found it quite tough but also fair. Obviously I'm still pleased about the Scottish victory but my outlook over the next two days is no different to previous years; it's all about trying my best  to get into the top 64 match-play qualifiers for now."
