England’s Maggie Whitehead produced the best round of her young life to move into contention at the Girls U16 Amateur Championship at Fulford, with overnight leader Francesca Fiorellini still ahead.

Whitehead, aged only 12-years-old, came into the championship to simply further her experiences, but surged through the field into second place after a superb two-under-par 73 on day two.

The chasing pack includes Scotland’s Grace Crawford (Gullane) --  on one-over-par, another 12-year-old thriving this week. The Gullane player holed a 25 feet putt on the 18th for par and said, “I played well and I was playing with two of my friends in Maggie and Libby (Bell), which was really nice. I’ve moved up the leaderboard further than I thought, so it’s all to play for tomorrow.” -- Watch Video below to see Grace

Scotland’s Carmen Griffiths (Aboyne) is one shot behind.
