English Open Strokeplay Championship --- Day 2
Teenagers Rachael Goodall and Charley Hull share the lead at the halfway stage of the English women’s open strokeplay championship at Whittington Heath, Staffordshire.
Both have returned two level par scores of 72 over the first 36 holes but Rachael, 19, (Heswall) was top qualifier for the remaining two rounds, by virtue of her last nine holes. She came home in one-under par 35, while 14-year-old Charley scored one-over 37.
They lead the top 36 qualifiers and ties – a total of 38 players – for the final 36 holes of the tournament. The cut, at the end of a blustery day when scores rose with the strengthening wind, fell on 10-over par 154.
First round leaders Kelsey MacDonald and Katherine O’Connor both returned second round scores of 74 and share third place, one shot behind the leaders.

Scotland Girls beat Wales on Day 1 at Bangor

England and Scotland start with wins at Bangor
Defending champions England made an impressive start to the Girls’ Home Internationals by beating Ireland 7 ½-1 ½ at Bangor Golf Club, Northern Ireland today.
In the other match, Scotland beat Wales 6-3 .
England took a grip on the outcome of their opening match by making a 3-0 clean sweep of the foursomes against the Irish.
They followed that up with wins in the singles by Elizabeth Mallett (6 and 5), Bronte Law (3 and 1), Lauren Taylor (2 holes) and Alexandra Peters (2 and 1).
The game between Georgia Hall (England) and Anna Courtney (Ireland) finished all square.
Elizabeth Mallett, still on a high from her victory last week in the English Girls’ Championship, was three up on Irish girls champion Laura Grant after five holes. She added further successes at the eighth, ninth and 10th to be six up and halves at the next three holes ended the match.
Bronte Law was twice two up on Sarah Kelly before the turn and then drew away from her opponent on the inward half. Law won the 11th and 12th to go four up but Helly was not ready to throw in the towel. The Irish player hit back with wins at the 14th and 15th to get it back to two down with three to play. Law clinched a 3 and 1 victory by winning the 17th.
Lauren Taylor was four down after six holes to Laura McCarthy but hit back hard to win the seventh, eighth, ninth, 11th and 12th, transforming her position into a one-hole lead.
McCarthy squared the seesaw match at the 16th but Taylor finished the better, winning the 17th and 18th for a two-hole victory.
Alexandra Peters and Paula Grant had a ding dong struggled for most of the way with only one hole in it either way when the game wasn’t at level pegging. All square on the 16th tee, Peters won the 16th and 17th for a 2 and 1 win.
Georgia Hall and Anna Courtney shared the honours after the English player held a two-hole lead at the eighth and again at the 11th. Courtney kept plugging away and was rewarded with a win at the 15th and another at the 17th to square the match. Appropriately, the 18th was halved in birdies. Neither player deserved to lose.
Ireland came out top in only one singles but it was a good one with Emma O’Driscoll winning the lead-off singles. She beat the English women’s champion Hayley Davis by 4 and 2 in a quality match studded with birdies. Emma won the first with the birdie but Hayley won the second and fourth with birdies.
O’Driscoll squared the match at the seventh and then took over the driving seat by winning the eighth, 10th and 11th to forge three up. Davis won back the 14th but the Irish player was not to be denied a memorable win. She won the 15th and 16th for victory.
Scotland carried over a 2pt morning lead into the singles against Wales and at one stage of the afternoon action, it looked as if they would need it resist the Welsh comeback in the singles.
Rachel Watton had an outstanding win for Scotland over Wales’ Amy Boulden in the top singles in that match. Boulden won the third and fourth but was quickly pulled back to square by Watton who won the fifth and seventh. Boulden edged ahead again at the 11th but the tenacious Scot squared it at the 14th then took the lead for the first time at the 16th. Halves at the last two holes gave Watton victory by one hole.
Katie Bradbury beat the new Scottish girls champion Lesley Atkins by 3 and 2 after striking early. The Welsh girl won the first two holes and added the seventh and ninth, without loss, to be four up at the turn.
Atkins found her form to win the 10th and 11th but Bradbury went back into a three-hole lead by capturing the 12th and four halved holes ended the match on the 16th green.
Chloe Williams scored the second win of the day for Wales, beating Alyson McKechin 5 and 4. The Welsh girl won the first, third, sixth, seventh and ninth to be a commanding five holes to the good at the turn. McKechin scores her only success of the afternoon at the 13th but lost to the 14th and the match.
Hannah McCook was a 7 and 5 winner for Scotland over Kelly Miller. After the first two holes were exchanged, Hannah won the fourth, fifth and sixth but lost the seventh to be two up on the ninth tee after a half at the eighth.
McCook suddenly raised her pace to win the next five holes in a row for the match, going from two up to seven up over the space of six holes.
Scotland were assured of at least a draw with 4 1/2pt in the bag but they got the match-winning point from Eilidh Briggs who beat the Welsh girls champion Rachel Lewis by 4 and 3 in the sixth singles.
Eilidh won the third, fourth, fifth and sixth but thereafter each hole was halved – seven in a row – until Rachel scored her only success at the 14th. Briggs won the 15th for victory.
The last match to finish – Ailsa Summers v India Friswell finished all square after the Welsh girl had led by two holes after 10 and again after 14. Ailsa, however, came back from two down with three to play to win the 16th and 17th and halve the last

Kelly Tidy looks to complete rare double at the 2010 Girls' British Open Amateur Championship
Kelly Tidy from Bolton has the opportunity to become only the third player in history to win both the Ladies' and Girls' British Open Amateur titles in the same year. The only other British player to achieve the feat was Mickey Walker from Leeds in 1972, while Spain's Belen Mozo also achieved the prestigious double in 2006 when both tournaments were played in Northern Ireland.
Kelly Tidy won the Ladies' British Open Amateur title at Ganton in June but is still young enough to compete in the Girls' Championship when it is played at Royal Belfast Golf Club from 9th – 13th August. Kelly, a Junior Solheim Cup and Junior Ryder Cup player, has twice lost in the final of the British Girls' Championship, once to Henrietta Brockway (England) at Southerndown in 2007 when she was 15 and also to Laura Gonzalez-Escallon (Belgium) in the 2008 final when the Championship was played at Monfieth. She did not play in last year's Championship as it clashed with the Junior Solheim Cup Match which she was competing in.
The Championship has once again attracted a top quality field and has had to be reduced by ballot to 144 players. Two strokeplay qualifying rounds will take place on Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th August to decide the top 64 qualifiers for the matchplay stages.
Perrine Delacoure (France) who won the title at West Lancashire Golf Club last year and Elizabeth Mallett (Sutton Coldfield Ladies') last year's runner-up and recent winner of the English Girls' Championship are both in this year's field and will be bidding to reach the final again.
Other notables include Lisa and Leona Maguire (Slieve Russell) who at 15 became the youngest ever Great Britain and Ireland Curtis Cup team players when they competed in the 2010 Curtis Cup and Hayley Davis (Ferndown) the winner of the 2010 English Women's Championship.
Julie Yang, the 15-year-old South Korean girl who has been based in Scotland since last September when she moved from Arizona to Musselburgh to become a pupil at Loretto School is also one to watch. Her titles this year include the Welsh Women's Open Amateur Stroke-Play, the Paul Lawrie Foundation Scottish schoolgirls and the Danish Amateur Championship. She has since then also came through the qualifying process and played in the 2010 Ricoh Women's British Open at Royal Birkdale.
The overseas challenge includes entries from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Netherlands, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United States.
Three of the girls named in the European Junior Ryder Cup team for the match against the United States on September 28-29 at Gleneagles are among the entries – Isabella Dellert (2010 European Girls' Young Masters' Champion), Manon Molle (France) and Kelly Tidy (Royal Birkdale).
The winner receives the Challenge Cup and the beaten finalist is awarded the Leven Trophy. The Lady Heathcoat-Amory Memorial Medal goes to the leading qualifier while vouchers will be awarded for the lowest scores in the qualifying rounds. The Todd Bowl is awarded to the lowest U16 player in the qualifying rounds while the lowest U14 player will receive a voucher. An international team event is also played in conjunction with the two stroke-play qualifying rounds.

Pamela Pretswell is second in the Austrian Open Amateur Championship
Pamela Pretswell in action at the Austrian women's amateur championshipThis week I have been playing in the Austrian Ladies International Championship at Murhof Golf Club http://www.murhof.at/ , the venue for the European Ladies Team Championship in 2011.
I took the opportunity to play in this European Ladies ranking event by flying directly from the International European Ladies' Amateur Championship at Golf & Spa Resort Kunetickà Hora in the Czech Republic, where I finished in 6th place with a 72 hole score of 3 under par. I am really grateful for the support provided by the Scottish Ladies Golf Association and our sponsors Aberdeen Asset Management which allowed me to play in these events.
I finished runner-up in this 72 hole championship with a final total of 9 under par. I scored a 6 under 66 in the first round, including 9 birdies, to lead the championship and followed that up with a par 72 and a 2 under 70 yesterday to lead by one shot at 8 under going into the final 18 holes. I shot a 1 under round of 71 today, including 2 birdies, for a 9 under par total of 279. Unfortunately, this was one shot more than winner Klara Spilkova (Czech Republic) who started in 4th place today and played in the group in front of me. Klara shot a 6 under 66 with 6 birdies over the final 13 holes, including birdies at 17 and 18 to finish one ahead on 278.
Although it was disappointing to be pipped at the post after leading throughout the championship, I have been delighted with the way that I have been playing during the last few weeks. I am starting to benefit from playing more regularly now that I have a summer break from my studies at Glasgow University and really pleased to score 12 under in my last 8 rounds. Looking forward to the rest of my season and to playing the Murhof course again with the Scottish Ladies team at the European Team Championship next year - and perhaps doing even better than the fantastic bronze medal that we won at La Manga, Spain in July.

Leading Totals:
Par 72
Klara Spilkova (Czech Republic) 278 - 10 under (71, 70, 71, 66)
Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle) 279 - 9 under (66, 72, 70, 71)

LESLEY ATKINS WINS MACKIE BOWL BY FOUR STROKES
Lesley Atkins, 15-year-old recent winner of the Scottish Under-18 girls’ match-play golf championship, chalked up her biggest win in open tournament play at Gullane, East Lothian today (Sunday).
The Loretto School, Musselburgh pupil, who hails from Hawick, won the Mackie Bowl 36-hole SLGA Order of Merit event over her home course with very good rounds of 71 and 69 – the par is 74 – for an eight-under total of 140.
Because the eighth hole on the No 1 course has been remodelled and lengthened, Lesley's 69 will be recognised as a new women's course record.
Atkins, had four shots to spare at the finish from the Majorca-based Scot,(past Ranfurly Castle Member) Lauren Mackin. Lauren had rounds of 74 and 70.
Leading Scores:
Par 148 (2x74) SSS 75. CSS 75 75

Megan and Eilidh do well in Scottish Under 21 Girls
All the prizewinners - Courtesy of the SLGA
Stirling University student Kelsey MacDonald (pictured above with all the winners) finished top of the class for the third year in a row in the Scottish Under-21 girls open amateur stroke-play golf championship at Dunfermline Golf Club today.
The 19-year-old Scottish women’s champion from the Nairn Dunbar club signed off in champion style with a two-under-par 70, the joint lowest round of the tournament, for a one-over-par total of 217.
That gave her a four-stroke winning margin from last year’s Scottish Women’s Champion, Renfrewshire's Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm) (72-271) with Gillian Monteith (Portpatrick Dunskey) giving her best performance in a national tournament to finish third on 272, also closing with a 72.
Megan had a little bit of everything in her round today - an eagle 3 at the long 15th, birdies at the long seventh, 11th, long 17th and long 18th and then, on the downside, a double bogey 5 at the short 16th and other bogeys at the fourth, eighth, 10th and 14th in halves of 36. She fought well to try an recover from her one bad hole in the 1st round of the tournament when she had a 5 over par 9 at the 6th.
Eilidh Briggs, the 2010 Renfrewshire champion, finished fourth with a 77 for 225 and won the Menzies Cup for the best performance over the three rounds by an Under-18 year old.
Well done to Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) who finished well to be up in the top 10 of the tournament
West of Scotland's Rachael Taylor, Jill Meldrum (Dullater) and Natasha Qayum (Ranfurly Castle) all finished well.

The Briggs Sisters do well at the 2nd Round of the Scottish Girls
Nairn Dunbar’s Kelsey MacDonald has led through the first two rounds of her title defence in the Scottish Under-21 girls’ Open Stroke-Play Championship at Dunfermline Golf Club.
With Jane Turner (Craigielaw), a shot behind after one round, falling away to a second-round 85, it looks as if only the Briggs sisters from Kilmacolm , Megan and Eilidh, lying a close second and third overnight, are the only ones who can stop the 19-year-old Scottish women’s champion completing a hat-trick of Under-21 titles.
Kelsey added a 75 to her opening par round of 72 and she would be the first to admit this was not one of her best efforts. She had no birdies and dropped shots at the short fifth, the 10th and long 18th.
Eilidh, the younger of the Briggs girls and the Renfrewshire county champion, took over second place with a 72 to be one shot off the pace on 148. Eilidh birdied the long third and the six but dropped shots at the fourth and 14th in halves of 34 and 36.
Megan, Scottish Women’s Champion in 2009, also had a 72. After her disatrous 9 at the 6th yesterday she had an outward half of two-under-par, with birdies at two long holes, the third and seventh. Unfortunately 2 bogeys in the 2nd 9 spoilt the charge !
Good luck to all the West of Scotland Players tomorrow
