SALLY WATSON JOINT 15TH AT HALFWAY
IN FLORIDA AFTER REPEAT 77

South Queensferry's Sally Watson repeated her opening round of 77 to be lying joint 15th on 154 at the halfway stage of the Harder Hall Women's Invitational golf tournament at Harder Hall Country Club, Sebring in Florida, the first event of the Orange Blossom Tour.
Sister Rebecca also shot a 77 to be joint 26th on 157.
Pepperdine University first-year student Taylore Karle had a brilliant six-under-par 66 to go five shots clear of the field with a two-round tally of four-under-par 140.
Taylore's round took off when she birdied the sixth, eagled the eighth and birdied the ninth.
Like the second and third-placed Stacy Lewis (Arkansas) and Alison Walshe (Arizona), Miss Karle is a strong contender for a place in the United States Curtis Cup squad for the match against GB&I over the Old Course, St Andrews at the end of May. That team will be announced at the end of next week's Orange Blossom Tour, the South Atlantic Ladies Amateur (Sally).
