Kylie Walker just makes the cut in Austria

Kylie Walker's four birdies in the space of 10 holes could not quite wipe out a triple bogey 7 at the second and five bogeys in the second round of the European women's individual amateur golf championship at Schloss Schonborn Golf Club, near Vienna in Austria today (Thursday).
Kylie, who birdied the seventh, ninth, 12th and 16th, finished on four-over-par 77 after an opening-day 78 which also included a triple bogey. Her 36-hole tally of nine-over 155 had her back in joint 40th place, a disappointing follow-up to last week's performance when she was beaten in a play-off by fellow Scot Roseanne Niven for the British women's open amateur stroke-play championship at Malone Golf Club, near Belfast.
However her score was just enough to make the cut
Majorca-based Scot Lauren Mackin (Ranfurly Castle) had an 83 for 162 and a share of 90th place.
Gemma Webster (HIlton Park) had an 81 for 167 and joint 112th place in a field of 132. Both players missed  the cut
