CARLY GOES FROM 74 TO 84 AND OUT OF THE
BRITISH WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP IN RAIN

Seven Scots crashed out of the Ladies’ British open amateur golf championship in the qualifying stages – including 14-year-old Carly Booth with a nightmare round in pouring rain – at Alwoodley Golf Club, Leeds today.
The 14-year-old Perthshire prodigy looked a banker bet for one of the 64 places in the match-play stages after an opening round of two-over-par 74.
But Carly, out in the worst weather of the day – steady rain set in early in the afternoon – took 10 shots more in the awful conditions, an 84 for a 36-hole total of 158.
She missed out by four shots the 11-way play-off on 154 for the last three places.
Carly had the kind of start you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy – well, maybe you would – a bogey 5 at the first a quintuple bogey 9 at the par-4 second, and a bogey 6 at the third, to make her seven over par after only three rounds.
Things did not get better and she reached the turn in eight-over-par 45, then ran up double bogeys at the 12th and 14th for 39 home.
The others who missed the cut on 154 were Rachael Livingstone (Musselburgh Old) 74 for 155, Sara Bishop (Cochrane Castle) 77 for 155, Anne Laing (Vale of Leven) 79 for 157, Gemma Webster (Hilton Park) 81 for 161, Emily Ogilvy (Auchterarder) 81 for 163 and Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) 81 for 171.
The good news was that six Scots made it through without involvement in the play-off – Louise Kenney (Pitreavie) 77 for 149, Laura Murray (Alford) 74 for 150, Heather MacRae (Dunblane New) 74 for 150, Michele Thomson (McDonald Ellon) 75 for 151, Roseanne Niven (Crieff) 73 for 151, Sally Watson (Elie & Earlsferry) 74 for 151, Jenna Wilson (Strathaven) 76 for 152.
Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) had a 76 for 154. Having finished her second round hours earlier, she had to go out in the teeming rain for a play-off after 8.45pm.
Spain provided the first and second qualifiers – Carlota Ciganda with a 68 for six-under-par 138 and Azahara Munoz, 68 for 140.
