St Andrews ' Fiona de Vries (St Regulus) and Kathleen Sutherland (Royal Montrose) go into the third and final round of the Senior British women's open amateur stroke-play golf championship in joint 20th place at Hunstanton links, Norfolk.
Fiona De Vries scored 86 and 78 for 164 over a testing par-75 course while Kathleen Sutherland hit that mark with rounds of 84 and 80.
Both are eight shots behind the Spanish leader, Rocio Ruiz de Velasco from Madrid who not only has never played in this event before - this is the first week she has played on a links course!
She did not play as well today for an 80 as she did for a first-round 76 but, as she says, it's a huge learning curve for her.
Favourite to take the championship to add to her Irish senior women's close title is Helen Jones, ladies captain at Royal Portrush GC, and one shot off the pace after a 78 for 157.
Only five Scots entered this over-50s major and Lynne Terry (Cruden Bay), Royal Dornoch's Alison Bartlett and Pamela Williamson (Bartlett) all missed the cut. Bartlett missed out by one shot on 172 with scores of 89 and 83, while Williamson shot 91-84 for 175. Terry scored 89-88 for 177.
