JENNA AND KRYSTLE MAKE MATCH-PLAY
STAGES OF SPANISH WOMEN'S AMATEUR

Strathaven's Jenna Wilson and Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) gave Scotland a 50 per cent success rate in the qualifying stages of the Spanish women's open amateur golf championship at Sherry Golf, Jerez in the Cadiz region.
Jenna was the 15th of the 32 qualifiers for the match-play stages with scores of 72 and 76 for 148 while Krystle gained the No 25 spot with 74 and 76 for 150.
But Heather MacRae (Dunblane) and Kylie Walker (Hilton Park) both finished on the 161 mark - nine shots more than the 32nd qualifier.
Two Spaniards finished six shots clear of the pack - defending champion Carlota Ciganda with 71 and 68 for 139 and Marta Silva Zamora with 72 and 67 for the same five-under-par mark. Marta gained the top seed berth with the better second round.
England had three qualifiers - Rachel Jennings in third spot with 74 and 71 for 145, Danielle Montgomery, fifth on 146 (70-76) and Kerry Smith, 11th with 77 and 71 for 148.
