ELDERSLIE'S ALYSON MCKECHIN REACHES THE LAST 32 AT THE BRITISH OPEN AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIPS AT CARNOUSTIE

 Renfrewshire's Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) had a marvellous 5 and 3 win over 17-year-old Curtis Cup player Bronte Law (Bramhall) this morning after being two up at the turn with two-under-par figures.
She then played Laure Castelain from France this afternoon and lost on the 18th -- 2 down
What a great experience for Alyson and many congratulations from everyone in the County for qualifying for the matchplay stages and reaching the last 32 -- a fantastic achievement.

Three members of the winning GB and I Curtis Cup team at Nairn are through to the last 16 of the Ladies British Open Amateur Championship at Carnoustie

Unfortunately, two of them, Amy Boulden from Conwy, North Wales and Stephanie Meadow, the University of Alabama student from Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland, will meet in the third round.
The other Curtis Cupper through to the last 16 is English champion Kelly Tidy who produced some of the best figures of the opening match-play day. She was three or four under par in beating Olivia Winning (Rotherham) by 7 and 5
