Colin@scottishgolfview.com
Comrie's Carly Booth shot one of the lowest rounds of the day - a four-under-par 68 - but missed the cut by one after 36 holes of the ISPS Handa Ladies European Masters at Buckinghamshire Golf Club, Denham today.
Carly had two double bogeys in her first-round 77 and she could not quite make up the leeway.
To make the last round she had to reach level par 144 or better.
An eagle 3 at the ninth and birdies at the short fifth, 11th, 13th and long 14th gave her a fighting chance but a double bogey 6 at the 16th was the knock-out blow.
Even though Majorca-based Carly birdied the 17 for two-under 34 home, it was too little too late. A brave effort, nevertheless.
Three Scots are in the final round at - West of Scotland's Kyle Walker is on joint seventh on135, Pamela Pretswell, a 69 for 137 and a share of 14th place, and Vikki Laing, a 71 for 141 and joint 34th place among the qualifiers.
Kylie had five birdies and one bogey. One of her birdies came at the 17th, a hole which cost Pamela Pretswell a double bogey 6 to take the shine off a round which had earlier included six birdies.
Laing had four birdies in her 71 but three bogeys as well.
There's a three-way tie for the lead at 12-under-par 132. Caroline Masson (Germany) has had scores of 63 and 69, South African Ashleigh Simon, also 63-69, and Czech Republic youngster Klara Spilkova has had a pair of 66s.
