A FEW DOLLARS MORE FOR LISA
AND POLLY IN FLORIDA OPENER

England's Lisa Hall from Stoke on Trent and Londoner Polly Willett finished down the field in the US Futures Tour opener, the Lakeland Classic at Cleveland Heights, Florida - but at least they made the final day, which meant they took away a cheque, small though it was.
Lisa (Hackney before she was married), pictured right, had a third round 75 (37-38) today for a final total of seven-over par 223. That put her joint 45th . Her earlier scores were 75 and 73. Lisa earned $509.
Polly had scores of 75, 74 and 79 for 228 and joint 73rd position to pick up a pay-out of $453.
Victory and the $11,200 jackpot prize went to Lori Atsedes from New York State with scores of 69, 71 and 72 for four-under-par 212.
Kelly Cap from Ohio finished second with three rounds of 71 for 213 to collect the $8,000 runner-up award.
Ha-Na Chae from Seoul, Korea, who had moved into the lead with only a few holes to play, let her chance slip and scores of 72, 70 and 72 put her in third place on 214.
Meredith Ward, who had been the long-time leader finished joint fifth on 216 with scores of 69, 70 and 77. She earned $2,146.
