EUROPEAN WOMEN'S AMATEUR CHSHIP
KRYSTLE AND JENNA (73) TOP SCOTS
AS SPANIARD (66) GOES CLEAR
One of the “lesser” Spanish leading lights, Sandra Cologan, outshone the field with a five-under-par 66 in the first round of the European women’s individual amateur golf championship at Hamburg Falkenstein Golf Club in Germany today.
Sandra’s excellent halves of 33 opened up a three-shot lead over compatriot Belen Mozo, winner of both the British women’s and girls’ open titles this summer, and Isabelle Boineau (Frances).
Scottish Under-21 champion Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) and Jenna Wilson (Strathaven) did not do too badly at all with two-over-par 73s but such is the high quality of this field of 136 that they are barely in the top 20 going into the second of four rounds.
Jenna had a problem with the short holes. She dropped shots at both the short 10th and short 15th but did well to birdie the 17th to get home in 36.
Keystle Caithness had two early birdies, at the fourth and seventh, dropping only a shot at the ninth to turn in one-under-par 35. But her inward half contained bogeys at the 11th, 14th and 17th.
Heather MacRae (Dunblane New) had a pair of 6s at the two early long holes on her way to a 79. Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) had a double-bogey 6 at the first. She finished on 81.
Defending champion Jade Schaeffer (France) started with a 74.
The field will be cut to the leading 70 and ties after the third round.
