Lanarkshire's Pamela Pretswell is the leading Qualifier at Southerness
Improved weather brought improved scoring but no change at the top of the qualifying leaderboard in the 95th Scottish women’s amateur golf championship at Southerness links on the shores of the Solway Firth today..
Overnight leader Pamela Pretswell, a Glasgow University student and member of the Bothwell Castle club, duly claimed the No 1 seed position among the 32 who advance to the match-play stages. And she underlined her claims to be the favourite with a second-round, one-under-par 72, the best round of the two days, compared with her opening score of 76 in the windblown first day, which was also the best of that day.
Hamilton-based Pretswell, has never been able to enter this championship before due to first school and later university examinations clashing with it. She is obviously playing well, having won the West of Scotland title recently and last summer’s victory in the Swiss women’s open amateur title put her on the short leet for the Great Britain & Ireland team to play the Continent of Europe in Hamburg in July.
Big-hitting Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle), another member of the GB&I squad, again birdied four par-5 holes in returning a 74 for the No 2 qualifying spot on 151.
Carnoustie’s Katy McNicoll, brother of Keir who won the St Andrews Links Trophy and Leven Gold Medal last season, did very well to be the third best qualifier on 155.
She flew back to Scotland last week after graduating at Lynn University, Boca Raton and has had little or no time to acclimatise after the heat and comparatively calm weather of Florida.
But she put together rounds of 79 and 76 to qualifying for the match-play stages with ease.Two former Scottish champions, Elaine Moffat (St Regulus) on 163 and Martine Pow (Selkirk) on 164, qualified but the third former title-holder in the field of 80, Anne Laing (Vale of Leven) did not with a total of 171.
Martine Pow was one of three players whose 36-hole totals were good enough to qualify them for the match-play stages but they withdrew due to unavailability.
Mher eye over prospect international candidates.artine is a Scotland selector and will be kept busy over the remainder of the championship running
Students Rachael Watton (Mortonhall), 80-78 for 158, and Alyson McKechin (Elderslie), 84-80 for 164, pulled out because of examinations later in the week.
Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm) was the first player over the two days to equal the par of 73 for the 6010yd course and her Scotland international team-mate, Laura Murray (Alford) posted a 74, which put them both on the 156 mark at the head of the mid-afternoon finishers.
They were knocked off the top spot just after 5pm by Katy McNicoll who birdied the ninth, 13th and 14th in adding a 76 to her opening 79 for a 155 total.
At the end of the day, Megan appeared as No 4 seed and Laura as No 5.
Scottish Under-21 champion, Kelsey Macdonald (Nairn Dunbar), the third GB&I squad member in the championship, had a frustrating day which saw her drop down to the No 6 seed berth with a repeat of her first-round 78 despite the improvent in the conditions.
The Stirling University student, who began the qualifying process with a 9 at the par-4 first hole on Tuesday, today had a double bogey 6 at the third and a triple bogey 7 at the 12th.
As No 1 qualifier at Lossiemouth 12 months ago, Kelsey was beaten in the first round by Tain's Sammy Vass. Maybe she will prosper in a lower place among the qualifiers..
The withdrawal of Pow, McKechin and Watton meant that the play-off was not on 166 but instead involved the four players who totalled 168 - Claire Hargan (Mortonhall), Gillian Lockhart (Kilmarnock Barassie), Fiona Gilbert (Carnoustie Ladies) and Diane MacDonald (Dumfries & County).
They set off on a four-way play-off for the last two places. The play-off started at the 16th which Diane "won" with a 4 and Gillian was eliminated with a 6. Fiona and Claire both had 5s so they carried on halved the 17th in 4 before Claire claimed the last place (she is actually No 31 in the draw - too complicated to explain) by holing an eagle putt for a 3.
One of the pleasing features of the composition of the 32 qualifiers is the number of teenagers who are still in the championship.
Youngest of all is 14-year-old Lesley Atkins (Minto) who recently became the youngest ever Borders county champion. She qualified in the No 14 position. A great achievement for one so young.
Then there's 15-year-old Ailsa Summers (Carnoustie Ladies) who qualified even higher than Lesley - in the No 9 sport to be precise. Again a performance that augurs well for the future.
Aberdeenshire teenager Samanthat Leslie (Westhill), who reached the final of her women's county championship two or three weeks back, qualified in 17th place. Ironically for Aberdeenshire, Samantha plays Murcar Links' Carol Wilson in the first round.

West of Scotland's Champion Pamela Pretswell leads the Scottish
The southwesterly half-gale - or maybe it was a full-gale - whipping in off the Solway Firth wreaked havoc in the first qualifying round of the Scottish women's amateur championship over the Southerness links this morning. Bothwell Castles Pamela Prestwell who won the West of Scotland Championship over Prestwick Golf Club at the beginning of the month was the leader in the clubhouse after today's round.
She had a triple bogey 7 at the first and then four bogeys before she had a double bogey at the sixth. Her first par figure amd at the seventh - and then she promptly bogeyed the next.
But, it was at the long ninth that the Pretswell rags-to-riches golfing transformation took pace.
She covered her last 10 holes in one eagle (at the long 16th), six birdies (at the long ninth, short 10th, 12th, long 13th, 14th and long 18th). Only one blemish, a bogey at the 17th.
All that added up to nine over par for the first nine holes and six under par for the second nine
Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) used her strength to birdie four of the par-5 holes to salvage a second-placed 77 after being four over par after only five holes. She had double bogeys at the second and the 11th in halves of 39 and 38.

LGU - West Area Final at Ranfurly Castle
Prestwick St Nicholas's Kathleen Dauthieu had the best net round of the day by far to book one of the eight qualifying places in the LGU Medal Grand Final at Crieff on Sunday, June 7, which were up for grabs at the rescheduled West area final at Ranfurly Castle Golf Club yesterday
Only 64 of the original field for the rain-abandoned competition on May 6th turned up second time round but even if they had all turned up it is doubtful if anyone would have got close to Kathleen's net 71 off a handicap of 24.
The ladies' par at Ranfurly Castle is 74 and the SSS 73. The CSS was 76 on a bright and breezy day.
Kathleen's net return was the best of the day by six clear shots.
The full list of qualifiers for Crieff is:
Silver Division - Christine Whitelaw (Largs) (9) (better inward half). Nichola Ferguson (Clober) (5) 78; Sheila Sergenson (Palacerigg) (11) (better inward half), Anna Boyd (Biggar) (14) 79.
Bronze Division - Kathleen Dauthieu (Prestwick St Nicholas) (25) 71; Margaret Bremner (Caldwell) (23) (better inward half), Joyce McGregor (Windyhill) (22) (better inward half), Helen Abram (Ranfurly Castle) (23) 77 (better inward half).
Helen Abraham, the Ranfurly Castle ladies captain pipped Kay Gillies (Vale of Leven), who had a net 77 off 23 for the fourth and last qualifying place in the Bronze Division.
The CSS was 76 Reduction Only
