Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) finished in 11th place in the the British women’s open amateur golf championship at Conwy Golf Club, – her best tournament performance for some time. A third round of three under par 71 enabled her to improve her position significantly and may give her the confidence boost she needs.
Melissa Reid, the leading amateur in the recent Women’s British Open, adds the British championship trophy to the silverware she has collected in Scotland this season – the Helen Holm Scottish women’s open stroke-play championship at Troon and the St Rule Trophy at St Andrews.
Miss Reid, 19, has unquestionably been the female amateur golfer of the season in Britain.
