GB & I Vagliano Team announced for 2009 match at Hamburg Germany
There are seven new Great Britain & Ireland caps in the team of nine selected for the Vagliano Trophy match against the Continent of Europe at Hamburg Golf Club, Germany on Friday 24th and Saturday 25th July.

The team, to be captained by Mary McKenna with Tegwen Matthews as manager, is:

JODI EWART (Catterick), Age 21.
RACHEL JENNINGS (Izaak Walton), Age 20.
LEONA MAGUIRE (Slieve Russell), Age 14.
LISA MAGUIRE (Slieve Russell), Age 14.

2 HANNAH BARWOOD (Knowle), Age 18.
3 CARLY BOOTH (Comrie), Age 16.
4 LAURA COLLIN (John O’Gaunt), Age 22

Big-hitting Kylie Walker (pictured left)beat an international field and followed in the footsteps of Annika Sorenstam to win the St Rule Trophy at St Andrews this year. Actually, Annika won the tournament only once, and Kylie has had back-to-back “St Rule” wins, a feat last achieved by Solheim Cup player Catriona (Lambert) Matthew in 1993-94 and by only one other player, also a Scot - Christine Middleton (Cruden Bay) in 1988-89.
Pamela Pretswell, (pictured right)a Glasgow University student, was Scottish Universities champion in 2008 but her biggest win last year came on a holiday trip when she beat a quality continental field to win the Swiss Women’s Open Amateur Championship.
This year, despite important university exams, Pamela was able to win the West of Scotland title but after winning a sackful of trophies in the qualifying rounds of the Scottish Ladies’ (Close) Championship at Southerness, the after-effects of a pre-tournament illness drained her and she lost early in the match-play stages.
In last week’s British Championship, Pamela was the last Scot to be knocked out, but only at the 20th in the third round by Laura Collin who went on to remove Leona Maguire in the quarter-finals.

Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) today won the St Rule Trophy 54-hole women's open golf tournament for the second year in a row at St Andrews over the weekend.
The Scotland international and Vagliano Trophy preliminary squad member is only the third player to chalk up back-to-back wins in what has become one of the premier stroke-play tournaments on the European amateur women's golf calendar.
Christine Middleton was the first in 1988-89. Catriona (Lambert) Matthew was the second with victories in 1993 and 1994.
Kylie had rounds of 76 over the New Course on Saturday and then two rounds of 71 over the Old Course on Sunday for a total of nine-under-par 218. The New Course has a ladies' par of 75 and the Old Course is 76.
She won by two shots from Curtis Cup teenager Carly Booth (Comrie) who had rounds of 79, 70 and 71 for 220.
Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle), who dominated the stroke-play stages of the recent Scottish women's amateur championship, finished third on 225 with descending scores of 77, 75 and 73.

Kylie Walker, Pamela Pretswell and Louise Kenney (Pitreavie), recent beaten finalist in the Scottish women's amateur championship at Southerness, won the team event for Scotland.

St Rule Trophy -- 1st Round

FULL REPORT GO TO THE GILLIAN KIRKWOOD WEBSITE
The CSS is 78 (par 75)
A blustery wind, unusually from the south-east, led to high scores on the New Course St Andrews in the first round of the St Rule Trophy.
Best score of the day (and the only score under par) came from Tilly Holder, Woburn, who carded a 73 with 5 birdies.
Lying in joint second place with 75 were Rebecca Watson (Holston Hills, USA) and Emily Ogilvy (Auchterarder).
Defending Champion Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) was disappointed with her round of 76 which included 4 birdies and 2 double bogeys.
Ann Ramsay of Kirriemuir, called up as reserve, putted like a dream for a 77, the same score as Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle) and Tara Davies (Holyhead Bay).
Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm), recently crowned Scottish Champion, scored 78. She found the windy conditions tricky especially on the inward half. Others on 78 were
Laura Murray (Alford) who pitched in at the last for a 78, Gillian O'Leary (Cork) with an eagle 2 at the 4th and Alexandra Peters (Notts Ladies).
Scotland, represented by Louise Kenney (Pitreavie), Pamela Pretswell and Kylie Walker lead with 153 in the team event.

Scotland win the Team Trophy at the Welsh Women's Open

Good news this morning from Kylie Walker - Scotland won the Nations Cup team event at the weekend's Welsh women's open amateur stroke-play championship at windswept Royal Porthcawl.
Carly Booth and Kelsey MacDonald were the other Scotland team members.
"Obviously we were disappointed not to do better as individuals but we were happy to do Scotland proud by bringing home the Nations Cup Trophy. Thanks to the SLGA for sending us," says Buchanan Castle's Kylie who figured in a three-way tie for the lead with one round to go.
Kylie Walker finished joint sixth, Carly Booth joint 12th, Kelsey MacDonald 17th, Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm) joint 29th.

Kylie has a bad day at Pothcawl

Northern Ireland Danielle McVeigh (Royal Co Down) won the Welsh women’s open amateur stroke-play championship in tough conditions at the so-demanding par-75 (for women) Royal Porthcawl links in South Wales.
Kylie Walker had a final round she will want to forget in a hurry. An 84 for 232 saw her drop down to a tie for sixth place. The Buchanan Castle player double bogeyed both the first and third but got two of the shots back with birdies at the short fourth and the long fifth before bogeying the ninth to turn in three-over-par 40.Then can disaster with a capital “D” – a quadruple bogey 8 at the 10th. Kylie did birdie the long 15th but then lurched off track again with a double bogey 7 at the long 17th and a bogey at the 18th for 44 shots home.Carly Booth (Comrie finished joint 12th with a closing 81 for 234.Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar), runner-up in the “Helen Holm,” also struggled in the last round with an 81 for 236 and 17th place.Laura Murray (Alford) finished with an 83 for 242 and a share of 26th place.Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm) had an 83 for joint 29th place on 243

Kylie finishes 13th in the Portugal Open Amateur

Six bogeys in the last round killed Kylie Walker's hopes of at least matching last year's seventh place finish in the Portuguese women's open amateur golf championship. The Buchanan Castle player signed off the rain-abbreviated tournament at Quinta do Peru Golf Club, near Lisbon - the second day's play was washed out - with a 76 after earlier rounds of 76 and 77.
Her 13-over-par total for the 54-hole tournament put her in 13th place behind French winner Rosanna Crepiat who had scores of 74, 72 and 71 for one-over-par 217.
Kylie did birdie the fourth and short 17th on the last day but bogeyed the first, third, sixth, eighth, 13th and 14th.
In a prestigious overseas championship, once won by the late Marjory (Fowler) Ferguson, Kylie was the only Scot in the field of 70, a disappointing representation given that the GB&I selectors said that any players making a show in the early-season tournaments would have a chance of breaking into the Vagliano Trophy squad which has been depleted by players such as Scottish champion Michele Thomson (McDonald Ellon), Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) and their 2008 Curtis Cup team-mates, Florentyna Parker (Royal Birkdale), Elizabeth Bennett (Brokenhurst Manor), Breanne Loucks (Wrexham) as well as 2006 Curtis Cup player Tara Delaney (Carlow), turning professinal.
Wales and Ireland entered five players apiece and the Welsh did provide the leading non-Continental player, Rhian Wyn Thomas from Vale of Glamorgan, joint 10th overall on 228. Also on the 228 mark was Mandy Goyos, whose mother is Lancashire-born and her father Spanish.

PLAY WASHED OUT IN PORTUGAL

Torrential rain washed out the second day's play in the Portuguese women's open amateur golf championship at Quinta do Peru Golf Club, near Lisbon. Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle), the only Scottish player in the field of 70, was lying seventh with a score of 76 at the end of the first round.

Kylie joint seventh after the 1st round in Portugal

Scotland's only entry, D&A's Kylie Walker from Buchanan Castle ended the first day of the Portuguese women's open amateur golf championship in a respectable joint seventh place in a field of 70 players at Quinta do Peru Golf Club near Lisbon.
Kylie, who finished seventh in the event last year, had a round of four-over-par 76 -five shots behind leader Lara Katzy (Germany).
The long-hitting Scot had no birdies but strayed over par only three times with bogeys at the long ninth and short 16th and a double bogey 6 at the 18th.

Kylie Walker only Scot in field for Portuguese championship

Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle), the only Scot in the field of 73 players, has the second lowest handicap in the 79th Portuguese international women's amateur golf championship which tees off over the Quinta do Peru course, near Lisbon tomorrow.
Kylie winner of the St Rule Trophy in 2008 when she also won the SLGA Order of Merit and lost to fellow-Scot Roseanne Niven in a play-off for the British women's amateur stroke-play title, has remained an amateur after failing to gain pass marks at the recent Ladies European Tour Qualifying School at La Manga, Spain.
The 22-year-old Dunbartonshire & Argyll champion, coached by Bob Collinson, has a handicap of +3.2, bettered only by France's Marion Ricordeau with +4in the Portuguese field

Pamela Feggans makes the Ladies European Tour

A total of 55 players, including 15 amateurs, have earned the chance to play on the Ladies European Tour this year after surviving the 54-hole cut at Final Qualifying School at Murcia, Spain today.
They include FIVE Scots - Lynn Kenny, Krystle Caithness, Pamela Feggans, Michele Thomson and Vikki Laing. Caithness and Thomson, Curtis Cup team-mates at St Andrews last May, have been playing as amateurs but they will be turning professionals now!
All 55 players who made the cut mark of 226, seven-over-par, have secured playing rights for the 2009 season and will progress to the last day.
At the end of Thursday's final round the top 30 players will achieve a higher ranking, which will guarantee their entry into most events.

Sadly two Scots did not make it - Jenna Wilson (Strathaven) and Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle). Kylie is still an amateur but Jenna played her rookie pro year on the LET last year.
