VIKKI SURVIVES CUT

VIKKI SURVIVES CUT IN FLORIDA

Musselburgh’s Vikki Laing is having yet another try at making it back on the LPGA Tour in the United States.
She failed to qualify for the Final Q School at a recent sectional eliminator in California but that did not rule her out of entering the next qualifying test, at Plantation Golf and Country Club, Venice in Florida this week.
The leading 30 and ties will go forward to the Final LPGA Qualifying School at Daytona Beach, Florida from November 29 to December 3.
It’s so far so good this week for the 25-year-old Vikki who has had rounds of 74 and 71 for a halfway tally of one-over-par 145. She is lying joint fourth behind American Tara Bateman from Arizona (71+70=141).
A total of 73 players with 36-hole aggregates of nine-over-par 153 and better survived the cut on a windy Wednesday.
Other British players who will contest the final 36 holes are Jo Clingan from Gloucestere and Polly Willett from London. Jo had 77 and 74 for 151; Polly 73 and 80 for 153.
