BRITISH WOMEN'S OPEN AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP
BAD KICK KOs JENNA AT LITTLESTONE
Lanarkshire county champion Jenna Wilson was "kicked out" of the British women's open
amateur golf championship in the quarter-finals after producing brilliant four-under-par figures to beat the only other Scot in the last 16 - Clare Queen (Drumpellier).
Jenna, the 20th qualifier, lost by one hole in the fourth round to Spain's Maria Hernandez, who qualified in 12th place, after a piece of rank bad luck at the 16th hole.
"We were all square playing the hole but my ball took a violent kick off the fairways into the right rough - and we never saw it again. That was a blow. I lost the hole to go one down and the 17th and 18th holes were halved," said Jenna.
"But, on the positive side, I was pleased with the way I hit the ball and beating Clare Queen in the morning has to be my best ever result."
Jenna, who will be 21 on June 22, beat Clare, 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.
"I played OK but Jenna was just too good for me on the day, " said Clare.
