Ayrshire youngster Hazel MacGarvie (Troon Ladies)  achieved a creditable top 20 finish in the European women's amateur golf championship at the Penati Golf Resort, Slovakia today (Saturday).
She outshone Hannah McCook (Grantown on Spey) and Chloe Goadby (St Regulus Ladies) who both missed the third round cut on the final day when 36 holes were played.



Hazel, pictured, had scores of 75, 68, 72 and 72 for a one-under-par total of 287 which gave her a joint 16th place finish among the female amateur stars of Europe.

Curtis Cup player Olivia Mehaffey (Royal Co Down Ladies) finished joint seventh on six-under 282 with rounds of 70, 71, 71 and 70 - 10 shots behind the winner, Spain's Celia Barquin who set a new course record of 63 in her third roune.
Another Curtis Cup player, Shannon McWilliam (Aboyne) shared a disappointing 51st place with erratic rounds of 71,79, 70 and 77 for nine-over 297.
