CONNIE JAFFREY SETS THE PACE AT WEST KILBRIDE IN THE SCOTTISH AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP
West of Scotland's Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies) leads the field after the first day of stroke play qualifying at the Scottish Women’s Amateur Championship at sun-kissed West Kilbride today
She did not drop a shot during her four under opening round of 69, earning her the sole lead into the second day.
Four other Scottish women’s squad players finished one shot behind: Chloe Goadby from St Regulus Ladies, Germany-based Rachael Taylor from Golf Club am Reichswald, and Carnoustie Ladies’ Ailsa Summers and Jessica Meek.
Among the group of players tying for sixth at two under, is the 2014 Scottish Amateur champion Gabrielle MacDonald from Craigielaw, while last year’s winner, Clara Young from North Berwick, opened with a par 73 and past Curtis Cup player Eilidh Briggs from Kilmacolm
The field will compete over a second round of stroke play tomorrow, before the top-32 qualifiers enter the matchplay stage from Thursday. The 18-hole final is played at West Kilbride from 8.30am on Saturday morning.

WEST OF SCOTLAND'S EILIDH BRIGGS AND CONNIE JAFFREY FINISH IN TOP TEN OF THE ST RULE TROPHY
Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) and local girl Lauren Whyte (Regulus) tied for third place on 216 in the St Rule Trophy at St Andrews three behind the winner France's 15 year old Pauline Roussin-Bouchard.
Eilidh, who missed most of last season with injury, shot 74, 68 and 74, while Lauren, a student at Baylor University, Texas, reeled off three 72s in her best performance at this high level for a year or two.
Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies) tied for eighth place on seven-under 219 after an outward half of five-under 33 over the Old Course had her lying joint third with nine holes to play. But she took two-over 40 shots to come home for a 73. Still, she might have run into a bit of form just in time for the Scottish women's championship at West Kilbride this week. She was beaten by Gabrielle Macdonald in the final at Prestwick two or three years back.

PAMELA PRETSWELL QUALIFIES FOR USA WOMEN'S OPEN
Pamela Pretswell secured the fifth and final spot on three-under-par 141 (70-71) in the qualifying 36 hole European qualifier for the 2016 USA Women's Open Championship.
The Scot from Hamilton said: “I’m absolutely delighted. This is my first time playing in US Women’s Open qualifying and I’m looking forward to playing in California.
"I’ve played in two British Opens but to go over to America will be amazing and a good experience. I just tried to stay patient all day and make as many birdies as we could.
"I think I was very patient which is something I’m not always good at but it’s been coming for a while, so it’s nice. It’s massive and I’m looking forward to next month and hopefully I can continue playing good golf.”
Other Scots who did well but not quite well enough by finishing in the top 20 were Carly Booth (T8 on 143: 71-72), Kylie Walker (T11 on 145: 71-74) and Vikki Laing (T18 on 147: 71-76
