Clare Queen starts well in Eindhovan

West of Scotland's Clare Queen enjoyed one of her best starts of the season with a two under par 70 and was just three strokes behind the two French leaders, Gwladys Nocera and Jade Schaeffer, after the first round of yesterday's ABN Amro Ladies' Dutch Open in Eindhoven.
Queen started on the back nine and went out in 37. She then soared through the field with birdies at the fourth, sixth and ninth in a great second nine of 33 and was in a tie for tenth place.
Nocera (last month's winner at The Carrick, Loch Lomond) had three birdies and an eagle at the long ninth, while Schaeffer also highlighted her 67 with a three at the ninth.
The other three Scots failed to break par. Lynn Kenny had a 74, Jenna Wilson was on 77 and Kathryn Imrie 78.

USA are the winners and here are some photographs from the Curtis Cup

United States won the 35th Curtis Cup competition for the 26th time in the history of the biennial transatlantic women’s amateur golf international contest.
In a historic match – the first to be staged over the Old Course, St Andrews and the first to be played over three days – the Americans triumphed easily in the end by a 13 points to seven margin.
After two warm almost summer-like days, the Sunday weather certainly turned in favour of the home team … much colder, windier and occasionally wet.
The Brits were soon trailing in the top four singles and things did not get much better although, to be fair, the home tail did wag with wins by Florentyna Parker (Royal Birkdale) by 6 and 4 over Meghan Bolger and by home-course girl Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) by 2 and 1 over Mina Harigae.
And Scottish champion Michele Thomson (McDonald Ellon) gained a creditable half with Jennie Lee.
Another Scot, Sally Watson (Elie & Earslferry), came back from two down against Irish-born Alison Walshe in the final singles to be all square with five holes to play. But she lost the 16th and went down by one hole.
Watson, only 16, and 19-year-old Caithness were the top points producers for Great Britain with three points each. Watson played in every session of play while Caithness, home for the summer from Georgia University, and playing over her home course, won all three ties in which she was played.
For the Americans, Stacy Lewis was the MVP with five wins out of five.
Galway-born Alison Walshe, whose family emigrated to Boston when she was a youngster, was the second most successful player in the American squad she won all four of her ties.
Carly Booth (Comrie), at 15 the youngest GB&I player ever to be chosen for a Curtis Cup match – this was the youngest-ever GB&I team, had a nightmare last day. She went down by 6 and 5 to Tiffany Joh despite winning the first two holes.
Breanne Loucks (Wrexham), winner of all three of her Curtis Cup ties at Bandon Dunes two years ago, could win only one of four outings over the Old Course. Given the honour of playing in the lead-off singles tie, the Welsh girl lost by 3 and 1 to former US amateur champion, and still only 16, Kimberly Kim from Hawaii.
Jodi Ewart (Catterick), who plays on the US college circuit as a student at Texas A&M University, was drawn to play the top-ranked American player, Amanda Blumenherst and did well to take her to the 17th green before going down 2 and 1.
Liz Bennett (Brokenhurst Manor), at 25 the oldest player in the home team, went down by 3 and 2 to Stacy Lewis, the No 2 ranked US college player, by 3 and 2.
The Sunday attendance was 4,800, not a bad figure considering the inclement weather, which gave a three-day total of 13,600.

Traffic Accident causes West Girls v East Girls to be reduced to 6 matches

The annual match for the Mhairi McKay Trophy was being played at Murrayfield Golf Club in Edinburgh today. There was a serious accident on the M8 resulting in the road being closed. This meant that most of the girls from the west had a very long journey spending many hours stuck in traffic. Unfortunately Gillian Scanlon and Alyson McKechin were stuck in the traffic for more than 3 hours and had to return home without even arriving at Murrayfield Golf Club. The East Girls were very understanding and allowed us to play with the six girls who successfully arrived at the course. The result this year was West 4 East 2
RESULTS: East Players 1st
Gillian Simpson lost to Eilidh Briggs 4 and 3.
Rachael Watton bt Jill Meldrum 6 and 5.
Cara Easton v Gillian Scanlan - not played.
Camilla Tait lost to Zoe Differ 2 holes
Gabrielle Macdonald bt Nicola Ferguson 3 and 2.
Stacey Cameron lost to Natasha Qayum one hole.

Helen Goodwin lost to Nicky Wilson 6 and 5.

Kylie Walker wins the St Rule Trophy

D&A's Kylie Walker is not one of the four Scots in the GB&I team for the Curtis Cup at the same venue this week but she must have given them a boost and a few pointers as she won the St Rule Trophy in a half-gale over the Old Course, St Andrews today (Sunday).

The 21-year-old Buchanan Castle player, who has a handicap of +2, led by one shot at the end of the first round with a one-under-par 75 in a bitterly cold north-easterly wind gusting up to 25mph. Then Kylie went out and again shot the joint lowest score in the second round – a three-under-par 73, for a four-under total of 148.

"I've scored lower over the Old Course before but that's the best I've ever played it when the wind's been blowing like that," said Kylie who was beaten semi-finalist in the recent Scottish women's championship at Lossiemouth and, last month, was top Scot and joint fourth overall in the Helen Holm Scottish women's open amateur stroke-play championship at Troon.

Hitting the ball around the 300yd mark off the tee, even when it was a cross-wind, Kylie was able to pick up two-putt birdie 3s by driving the greens at the ninth and 10th, Her strength off the tee also enabled her to birdie the par-5 second and fourth by hitting them with her second shots.

She also birdied the par-5 17th with a pitch-and-putt 4.

Kylie bogeyed only the 13th – "I made a mess of that and finished up three-putting" – and the 18th where she missed the green with her approach. But all in all Miss Walker looked a class player in very difficult conditions, the CSS for the first round was 79 against the par of 76 and 77 in the second round.

"It's all started to come together for me," said Kylie who also won the Dunbartonshire & Argyll county title earlier this season.

Too late to get her into Curtis Cup team contention but the capture of the St Rule Trophy – the biggest win on her golfing CV which includes the Scottish schoolgirls title four years ago - will go into the British women's open amateur championship at North Berwick from June 11 to 15 brimful of confidence.

French players filled second, third, fourth and joint fifth places. Not surprisingly, France (299) won the international team event from Scotland (309) with Ireland (314) third and Wales (318) fourth.

LGU Press Release - Ladies' British Open Amateur Championship

The Ladies’ Golf Union will crown a new Ladies’ British Open Amateur Champion this year. 144 of the best female amateurs from 24 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, India and Morocco, tee off at the renowned West Links, North Berwick, Scotland from 11-15 June.
Unfortunately, the 2007 champion, Carlota Ciganda (Spain), is unable to defend this prestigious British title, leaving it up for grabs. With a full exemption to the Ricoh Women's British Open on offer, the event has attracted record entries of over 200 competitors. In the strongest ever field, 116 of the entrants have handicaps of + 0.1 or better.
European countries are particularly well represented this year with France entering 15 players, Sweden 6, Germany 9, the Netherlands 10 and Spain 8.
The home nations also have a strong turnout, with all of last year’s quarter finalists hoping to go further. The newly crowned 2008 Scottish Champion, Michele Thomson (McDonald Ellon), along with Breanne Loucks (Wrexham), Elizabeth Bennett (Brokenhurst Manor) and Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) will arrive in North Berwick days after playing for the GB & I side at the Curtis Cup, St Andrews from 30 May – 1 June.
The highly rated Swedish twins, Caroline and Jacqueline Hedwall (Barseback), are among the strong international line up contesting this Championship. Caroline, one of the top players in Europe, comes in as favourite with the lowest handicap on the entry list(+ 5.6), while earlier this year, Jacqueline took the runner up spot in the Helen Holm Scottish Open Stroke Play, scoring a record breaking 67 over Royal Troon. Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist, runner up for the last two years, hopes a third attempt will be lucky for her.
Susan Simpson, LGU’s Director of Championships said, “We are delighted to be holding this Championship at such a historic and challenging golf course. With such a strong field in place it looks like this event will provide a spectacular forum for the players to display their talents.”
Alan Phillips, Captain of North Berwick Golf Club said, “It has been 10 years since we hosted the Vagliano Trophy and we are once again very proud to be hosting a prestigious ladies event over the West Links. There is a very high calibre of entry from across the world so we are looking forward to welcoming these top amateurs and are excited by the prospect of seeing how they meet the unique and testing challenge of our golf course. I am sure that, over the week, many of the players will form a life long love of North Berwick and links golf and hope that they take away as many fond memories as they will undoubtedly leave with us."
Competitors in the Ladies’ British Amateur Championship play 18 holes on Wednesday 11 and Thursday 12 June, and the leading 64 players will qualify for the match play stage, culminating in an 18-hole final on the afternoon of Sunday 15 June.
The west course at North Berwick is a true links with commanding views of the sea and great wide sandy beaches over to the dark rocky islets of the Forth estuary and to the green-hilled Fife coast. The volcanic grey and white streaked hump of the Bass Rock and distant May Island can also be seen on the horizon.
An Open qualifying course, North Berwick's West Links has an antiquated charm of its own with walls, burns, and yawning bunkers, and in the 15th hole, “Redan”, probably the most frequently copied short hole in the world.
The North Berwick Golf Club is the thirteenth oldest golf club, second only to St Andrews for continuous play over the same course.
