LET FINAL QUALIFYING SCHOOL
CLARE QUEEN OFF TO A FLYER IN LET
Drumpellier amateur Clare Queen made a very good start to the Ladies European Tour Final Qualifying School 72-hole tournament over La Cala Resort North Course near Mijas on Spain’s Costa del Sol today.
The Great Britain & Ireland international player played very consistently for a three-under-par 70 to be joint second, two shots off the pace, with three rounds to go.
Clare birdied three of the five par-5s on the course – the first, the sixth and the 18th. She also had a birdie at the 17th in a strong finish. Her only bogey in halves of 36 and 34 came at the third.
Another Scottish amateur, Cara Gruber from Royal Dornoch, and former Scottish amateur champion Heather Stirling from Bridge of Allan, who is based in Florida, are well back on the seven-over 79 mark ... joint 64th, to be precise. Only the leading 50 and ties will survive the cut at the end of the third round.
Cara birdied the first but had a bad run either side of the turn. She bogeyed three in a row from the seventh to be out in 39 and then dropped further shots at the 11th, 13th, 15th and 16th for an inward 40. Cara did not have a single birdie.
Heather Stirling had back to back double bogeys at the fifth and sixth after setting off with a bogey. Out in 42, Heather got her only birdie at the short 11th. She bogeyed the 12th and 15th for 37 home.
Lesley Mackay from Golspie, the former Scotland amateur international who is now a teaching pro at Mearns Castle Golf Academy, Glasgow, had a disastrous 85 which leave her with a lot of ground to make up.
Lesley started well enough with a birdie at the first but then she bogeyed eighth of the next nine holes. Only at the eighth did she get a par in that nightmare spell.
Out in 43, and starting back with a bogey, Lesley lifted the gloom temporarily with her only birdie at the 12th but then she had a catastrophic finish – double bogeys at the 14th, 15th and 16th for 42 home.
