CARLY (69) LEADS IN EURO YOUNG MASTERS

Scottish Under-18 and Under-21 girls champion Carly Booth continued her brilliant run of four with a three-under-par 69 to lead by four shots at the end of the first round in the girls' section of the European Young Masters at Golf de Bondues in France.

Carly finished third in the event last year, a performance which earned her a place in the European Junior Ryder Cup team.

Carly, only recently turned 15, leads from four players on 74.

Jill Meldrum (Dullatur) had an 82.

In the boys' section, England's top prospect Oscar Sharpe is setting the pace with a 69.

Paul Shields (Kirkhill) had a 74 and David Law from Hazlehead a 75.
