ESPIRITO SANTO TROPHY

CLARE AND EMMA 18 SHOTS OFF
PACE IN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Great Britain & Ireland’s girls are 18 shots off the pace being set by Canada – coached by Dean Spriddle from Dunfermline – at the halfway stage of the women’s world amateur team golf championship for the Espirito Santo Trophy at Rio Mar Country Club, Rio Grande in Puerto Rico.
Yorkshire’s Emma Duggleby was again GB&I’s best scorer with a three-over-par 75, one shot more than she took in the first round.
Emma birdied the fifth, eighth and 14th but had bogeys at the second, third, fourth, seventh, 13th and 18th in halves of 37 and 38.
Clare Queen, the British women’s amateur stroke-play champion from Drumpellier, followed up her opening 75 with a 76 (37-39) with only one birdie, at the fifth, and bogeys at the first, ninth, 11th, 14th and 17th.
Welsh left-hander Stephanie Evans (Vale of Llangollen), the third member of the team, failed to produce a counting score for the second day in a row.
Stephanie had four double-bogeys in a nine-over-par round of 81 (41-40).
GB&I’s second-day team total of 151 was two shots more than their first-day effort.
Overnight leaders Canada let their standard slip a bit on the second day, posting a team total of 145, compared with 137 in the first round. But their running team total of 282 still gave them a three-stroke halfway advantage from Sweden whose Karin Sjodin was the individual leader with 69 and 70 for five-under-par 139.
The Swedes leapfrogged over United States into second place with a second-round total of 141 for 285.
The Americans fell back even more than the Canadians with 147 for 286.
