OPTIMIST JUNIOR INTERNATIONAL

REBECCA STRUGGLES AT PGA NATIONAL

Rebecca Watson from South Queensferry had a disappointing score of 93 in the second round of the Optimist Junior International girls (16 to 18 years) championship over the PGA National course at Palm Beach Gardens, Florida on Friday.
Rebecca had been tied for fifth place after an opening score of three-over-par 75 but her 36-hole tally of 168 dropped her to a share of 39th place in the international field of 80 girls. Miss Watson, whose younger sister Sally is currently playing in the European Young Masters in Austria, is the only European in the field.
The leader is Alexjandra Llaneza (Mexico City) with scores of 70 and 76 for two-over 146.
