ESPIRITO SANTO TROPHY LATEST

CLARE QUEEN HAS NON-COUNTING SCORE
BUT GB&I RETURN THEIR BEST TOTAL
Thanks to a six-birdie round of one-under-par 71 by Emma Duggleby, Great Britain & Ireland achieved their best day’s two-scores total but at the end of a weather-hit third round, they had improved only as far as 15th place in the women’s world amateur team golf championship for the Espirito Santo Trophy at Rio Mar Country Club, Rio Grande in Puerto Rico (on Friday).
Welsh left-hander Stephanie Evans, despite a quadruple bogey at the eighth, got a counting score for the first time with a three-over-par 75. Clare Queen from Drumpellier, who ran up a triple bogey at the 17th, shot a 77 which was discarded under the best two from three scores team format.
GB&I’s third-round total of 146, which gave them a running total of 14-over-par 446, compared favourable with 149 in the first round and 151 in the second.
Bad weather halted play from 1.20pm local time to 4.10, taking Emma and Clare off the course when both had only one hole left to complete in the third round.
With two holes still left to play, Canada led the field at eight under par with Sweden, who had shared the pole position for a spell during the third round, lying second at five under par and the United States in third place at two under par.
