CARLY SIXTH IN DORAL

JUNIOR CLASSIC

Carly Booth, 14-year-old Perthshire golf prospect, finished sixth in a strong international field for the prestigious Doral Silver Junior Classic over the Doral Golf Resort & Spa Silver Course in Florida.
Carly, pictured right, from Comrie, a student at the IMG David Leadbetter Golf Academy at Bradenton, Florida since the autumn, had rounds of 83, 75 and 79 for a total of 237.
In her final round, Miss Booth was heading for a very good score over a tough par-71 course when she was only one over par with six holes to play, having bogeyed the first and then reeled off 11 straight pars.
Unfortunately she ran up three double-bogey 6s after that for a 79.
Italian Giulia Molinaro, Carly's foursomes partner in the Junior Ryder Cup draw with the United States at Celtic Manor last September, won the tournament by one stroke with scores of 71, 76 and 77 for 11-over-par 224.
Carly finished ahead of the Torino teenager in last summer's European Young Masters tournament in Austria.
