BRITISH WOMEN'S AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

WILSON TRUMPS QUEEN IN BRITISH
Lanarkshire county champion Jenna Wilson from Strathaven played brilliantly to knock out Clare Queen (Drumpellier), the only other Scot in the third round of the Tropicana Essentials British women's open amateur golf championship at Littlestone, Kent.
Wilson, who will be 21 on June 22, beat the No 4 seed and British stroke-play championship by a surprisingly big margin - 5 and 4 with four under par figures.Jenna was three up at the turn and won the 11th with a par 4 and the 13th with a birdie 3 to go five up and put victory out of Clare's reach.
"That was definitely my best ever performance," said a delighted Jenna.
"I played OK but Jenna was just too good for me on the day, " said Clare.
Jenna, a former Scotland Under-21 girls champion, now plays Maria Hernandez from Spain in the quarter-finals.
