England’s 17-year-old Annabel Dimmock showed her desire to clinch a place in GB and Ireland’s Curtis Cup team by taking a five shot lead with a round to play in the Helen Holm Scottish Open Strokeplay Championship at Troon.
But Connie Jaffrey made sure that there will be plenty local interest in Sunday’s final round over Troon’s Old Course as she birdied the long 18th over Troon Portland to stand in a tie for second place.
The reigning Scottish Girls’ Champion and a Troon Ladies’ member, Connie Jaffrey had three birdies and an eagle at the long ninth in a 72 to finish on four under par 146.
Dimmock was a one shot leader after an opening 70 and the Wentworth teenager added a second day 71 that was a real mixed bag with six birdies, four bogeys and the highlight of an eagle three at the long sixth.
On nine under par 141, Dimmock led by the handful of strokes from Jaffrey and France’s 19-year-old Anaelle Carnet, who had an eagle at the ninth in a second round one under par 74.
Lauren Whyte, the 2012 Scottish Girls’ Champion, bolstered the home challenge by taking a share of fourth place on three under par 147. The St Andrews youngster had a level par 75.
Elderslie’s Alyson McKechin, the Scottish Amateur Champion, finished second last year and was tied for third and alongside Whyte on 72 after the opening day. But she sipped back into a tie for tenth on one under par after a 77. Grantown-On-Spey’s Hannah McCook was on the same mark following a 74.
For all the Scots, the aim is to become the first home winner since Heather Stirling in 2002. For Dimmock, it is a place in the GB and Ireland team to defend the Curtis Cup at St Louis Country Club in June that is the added incentive.
