R and A U16 Girls Open at Fulford Leading Scot Hannah Darling in fourth place with a round to go
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Broomieknowe's Hannah Darling, the leading Scot at the inaugural R and A Under-16s Girls Open at Fulford Golf Club, has four strokes to make up on leader Beth Coulter from Northern Ireland over Sunday's final 18 holes at the Yorkshire venue.
Darling is in fourth place after rounds of 74 and 72 for a tally of two-under 146 over a par-74 lay-out. Her second round was a mixed bag of an eagle 3 at the par-5 fourth, birdies at the ninth, long 11th and 16th, offset by a double bogey 7 at the sixth and a bogey at the eighth in halves of 37 and 35.
Coulter could not match her opening 69 on her second circuit but a 73 for 142 was good enough to see her lead by two from Finland's Kertuu Hiltunen (74-70).
