WOMEN'S WORLD AMATEUR TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
CLAIRE RALLIES FROM NIGHTMARE START
British stroke-play champion Clare Queen from Drumpellier rallied from a nightmare outward half to post a respectable score of three-over-par 75 in the first round of the women’s world amateur team championship for the Espirito Santo Trophy at Rio Mar Country Club, Rio Grande in Puerto Rico today.
Clare’s 75 and a 74 by Emma Duggleby from Yorkshire were the two counting Great Britain & Ireland scores for a first-round total of 149.
The non-counting score of the third GB&I team member was a 77 by Welsh left-hander Stephanie Evans (Vale of Llangollen).
Clare Queen bogeyed the short third and then double-bogeyed the par-5 fifth before dropping another shot at the par-4 eighth on her way to four-over-par score of 40 for the front nine.
Then the little Scot showed something like her true form by getting a pair of birdie 2s at the short 10th and the short 14th. Unfortunately, she bogeyed the 17th and finished with a 75.
Emma Duggleby had birdies at the second, fourth and 12th but marred her card with a triple bogey 6 at the short 10th. She also bogeyed the seventh and 17th in halves of 35 and 39 for 74.
Stephanie Evans bogeyed the first and sixth but a birdie 4 at the long eighth helped her to reach the turn in one-over 37. She got back to level par for the round with a birdie at the 13th but then cascaded five shots to par over the last five holes.
The left-hander bogeyed the 14th and 16th and then had a triple bogey 7 at the 17th to take 40 shots for the inward half of a 77.
Canada and the United States were still out on the course fighting for the first round lead. The Canadians were heading for a seven-under-par total of 137 while the United States were six under par with three holes to play.
