CARLY JOINT SIXTH IN FLORIDA
Carly Booth finished joint sixth on Sunday in a field of 15 for the Mystic Dunes Open 36-hole girls' tournament at Orlando, Florida. The event was part of the Future Collegians World Tour. The 14-year-old from Comrie, a student at the IMG David Leadbetter Golf Academy at Bradenton, played satisfactorily in her first round of five-over-par 76 but she had a triple-bogey 7 at the 12th in her second and bogeyed every hole after that for 45 home and an 84 for a total of 160.
That was the same total as Zahra Shah from London. She had scores of 82 and 78.
Winner was Victoria Kiser from Orlando with 73 and 66 for 139, winning by eight shots from Sherlyn Popelka from Zurich. The Swiss girl had rounds of 72 and 75.
Carly's co-student at the Leadbetter Academy, 15-year-old Sally Watson from South Queensferry, did not play in the event, saving herself for the Doral Publix Junior Championship in Miami the week before Christmas, when her older sister Rebecca will also be in the field.
The week after Christmas will see Sally playing in the Junior Orange Bowl in Miami before going on to the Harder Hall Women's Invitational, the start of the Orange Blossom Tour, at Harder Hall Country Club, Sebring in Florida.
Sally Watson and Carly Booth were last week named in the Ladies Golf Union Elite Squad for winter training in preparation for GB&I's women's match against the Continent of Europe for the Vagliano Trophy at Fairmont St Andrews Bay and the Commonwealth Trophy team tournament in South Africa.
The Scots girls are two of the youngest ever selected for an LGU Elite Squad.
