BELGIAN JUNIOR NATIONS OPEN

KELSEY AND ROSEANNE WIN TEAM
EVENT FOR SCOTLAND IN BELGIUM

Scotland’s Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) and Roseanne Niven (Crieff) won the girls’ international team award after torrential rain forced the third qualifying round in the Belgian Junior Nations Open to be washed out at Royal Golf Club of Belgium near Brussels today.
Kelsey, leading qualifier with two rounds of 74, and Roseanne, officially 17th of the match-play qualifiers with scores of 76 and 80, totalled 304.
They finished two shots ahead of host nation Belgium with Austria (308) third. Ireland (331) came 12th.
Scotland’s representatives in the boys’ section, Sam McLaren (King James VI) (77-77) and Paul Shields (Kirkhill) (79-76), finished 11th in the team event with a total of 309. Belgium (291) won from Denmark and Iceland (292). Ireland (296) finished joint fourth and Wales (316) 15th.
The individual tournament concludes today with another strokeplay round.
