Three Scots - Under-18s champion Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies), Tara Mactaggart (Minto) and Heather Munro (Monifieth) - are through to the match-play stages of the British girls golf championship at Fairhaven Golf Club, Lytham St Annes in Lancashire.
They made it by the skin of their teeth. All three were on the limit mark of 159 after the 36-hole stroke-play eliminator.
Connie Jaffrey added a 76 to her first-day 83 while Mactaggart and Munro both added 82s to first round 77s.
Mactaggart's "reward" is a first-round tie against the leading qualifier, Bethan Popel from Brimstol. She shot 72 and 73 for three-under 145 over the par-74 layout.
Jaffrey plays Clara Aveling (Belgium), a top 10 qualifier with 78 and 73 for 151.
Munro plays the No 2 seed Rochelle Morris from Huddersfield. She was at the top of the leaderboard for most of the day with 70 and 76 for 146 until Popel came in late to take the pole position.
