McKECHIN LOSES - NO SCOTS IN LAST 16 OF BRITISH GIRLS
There are no Scots in tomorrow morning's line-up of the last 16 in the British girls open amateur championship after an awful day of rain at the Gullane No 2 course.
The last host country representative to bow out was Alyson McKechin (Elderslie).
Having beat compatriot Lesley Atkins (Gullane Ladies) by 4 and 2 in the worst of the morning rain, Alyson went down by 2 and 1 to Belgium's Margaux Vanmol in the second round.
The 18-year-old lost the first but bounced back by winning the second, fourth and fifth for a two-hole lead - but that was as good as it got for McKechin.
"I was still two up at the turn but she birdied the long 10th to get one back and after we had halved the long 11th in birdie 4s, Margaux birdied the 13th to square the match," said Alyson who intends playing full-time amateur golf for the rest of the year.
"Then I bogeyed the 14th to go one down for the first time."
After halves in pars at the 15th and 16th, Vanmol clinched a come-from-behind 2 and 1 win by winning the 17th.
The roads around Gullane were flooded after overnight rain continued into the day but the Gullane linkes continued to drain it all away.
"It was simply horrific out there," said 16-year-old Bronte Law (Bramhall), the No 5 seed and one of the favourites.
She beat Marian Tonnessen (Norway) and then Daisy Nielsen (Denmark) both by 4 and 3 margins to reach the third round.
Bronte won the Scottish Under-16 girls' open amateur title at Strathmore in April.
Aberdeen-born Gemma Dryburgh (Beaconsfield) lost by 5 and 3 to England international Georgia Hall (Remedy Oak) who was three up after seven and two up at the turn.
Jessica Meek (Carnoustie Ladies) was one up after 13 against English girls champion Hayley Davis (Ferndown) but lost at the 19th
Scottish U18 girls champion Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) was two down after only four holes to Norway's Olivia Hullert. The Scot stopped the rot but was still two down after seven and again at the turn.
She got into her stride to birdie the 11th and 13th, lost the 14th but birdied 15th and 17th to take the match down the 19th were Eilidh's hopes ended in a bunker.

FIVE of the 11 Scots who competed in the stroke-play qualifying rounds are among the 64 qualifiers from a field of 144 for the match-play stages of the British girls open amateur golf championship over the Gullane No 2 links near Edinburgh.
Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) led the Tartan brigade with rounds of 72 and 74 for level par 146 – one shot ahead of Carnoustie Ladies’ Jessica Meek who had 73 and 74 for 147.
Scottish girls champion Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) and the Aberdonian, Gemma Dryburgh, she beat in the Under-18s final at Glenisla, both made it through on 151. Eilidh scored 76 and 75, Gemma 74 and 77.
The last of the five was Gullane Ladies’ member Lesley Atkins who birdied the 14th, 15th and 16th after 7pm in the evening sunshine to slash six shots off her opening effort with a level par 73 for 152.
The limit mark for qualifying was seven-over-par 153 but only six of the players with that total survived the card play-off to produce the exact number of 64 qualifiers.
North Berwick’s 14-year-old Clara Young was one of those eliminated on 153 by virtue of her second-round 79.
Ailsa Summers (Carnoustie) improved from 82 on Day 1 to a 73 today but 155 was two shots too many, even to get in the countback.
Gabrielle MacDonald (Craigielaw) and Kate McIntosh (Broomieknowe) filaed on 157, Gabrielle with 79-79 and Kate with 80-77.
Hannah McCook (Grantown on Spey) shot a second-round 74 – 10 shots better than her first round – but 158 was never going to make it.
Lauren Whyte (St Regulus) was also well out of the running with 78 and 82 for 160.
Leading qualifier for the second time in three years was 18-year-old Spaniard, Noemi Jimenez with 71 and 70 for five-under-par 141.
The leading British player among the qualifiers was 16-year-old Bronte Law (Bramhall), joint third on 143.

From the LGU Website:
West of Scotland's Alyson McKechin, who played for Scotland in last week’s Girls Home Internationals, might well have broken 70 today in the 1st round of the British Girl's Strokeplay at Gullane No 1, which would have been great scoring in none-too easy conditions.
A weekend of heavy rain has left the fairways soft and the greens receptive but the rough is long and very wet – and a strong, swirling wind is making the conditions tough to score well.
McKechin, a member of Elderslie Golf Club, was ahead of the game right away with a superb approach shot with a 52 degree wedge to within 2ft of the flagstick for a tap-in birdie 3.
She bogeyed the fourth, failing to get up and down after missing the green, but got home in two downwind at the long fifth with a four-iron second and two-putted for a birdie 4.
The tall Scot had birdie chances on seven and eight but couldn’t take them … until the 10th and 11th. Alyson hit the green in two at the par-5 10th with a drive and a rescue club for a two-putt birdie 4, and she holed a 15ft putt for her fourth birdie of the round at the 11th.
Birdie No 5 was marked at the downwind 15th (487yd) where McKechin was on in 2 with an eight-iron second and two-putted for a 4.
Standing on the 17th tee, Alyson is four-under-par. Two 4s to finish will give her a 69 …. But she stumbled to a bogey-double bogey end to her round.
“I missed the green at the seventeenth and could not get up and down to save par. Then I drove it into the left rough at the 18th. The rough is difficult to get out of and it took me four shots to reach the green and two-putted for a 6,” she said.
Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) who started with 3 bogeys in the first 4 holes recovered well to end up only 3 over par in what was obviously very difficult conditions.

Scotland, for the first time in three days, went into the singles with a lead from the foursomes, a two-point lead which the Welsh overcame with a 3 and 2 win by Amy Boulden over Alyson McKechin and a 3 and 1 victory by Katie Bradbury over Gemma Dryburgh.
But Eilidh Briggs, two down with six to play, squared the match by winning the 13th and 14th (with a birdie) but then lost the 16th to be one down again … winning the 18th with another birdie to gain an honourable halved match.
Scotland won the last three singles with Ailsa Summers beating Myrian Hassan by 2 and 1 after winning the seventh, ninth and 11th for a three-hole lead.
Lauren Whyte won by 5 and 3 against Sara Ree-Evans who was three down after the fifth and never won a hole.
Hannah McCook completed Scotland’s first win with a 4 and 3 win over Jessica Evans. A close match suddenly swung the Scot’s way when she won the 13th, 14th and 15th

Scotland lose to England and Ireland win to set them up for the Title decider
Scotland, whitewashed 3-0 by England in the morning foursomes, staged a great fightback in the singles but lost narrowly, 5-4, in the rain on Day 2 of the Girls Home Internationals over the Gullane No 2 links.
Ireland made it two wins out of two by beating Wales 5-4 and meet England, winners of the Stroyan Cup for the past three years in the title decider on Friday.
The Scots picked themselves up well after their morning drubbing with Eilidh Briggs scoring a splendid 3 and 1 win over Hayley Davis in a battle between the girls champions of their respective countries.
Alyson McKechin put another point on the board for the Scots by beating Georgia Hall by one hole.
Gemma Dryburgh finished well to get a halved match with Brogan Townend.
Lesley Atkins lost by 4 and 3 to Bronte Law but Ailsa Summers won by 2 and 1 against Elizabeth Mallett.
With England leading by 4.5 to 3.5, Scotland's hopes of salvaging a creditable draw rested on the shoulders of 14-year-old Clara Young, the Junior Vagliano Trophy player from North Berwick.
Clara went one up on Alex Peters by winning the 16th with the rain pouring down but not damping the mounting tension in both camps. The 17th was halved but Peters won the last hole with an excellent approach shot to within 3ft of the flagstick setting up a birdie 3 to gallant Clara's par 4 to halve an absorbing contest which England scraped home to a 5-4 victory.
