Carly Booth likely to miss the cut at Monifieth

UPDATE FROM THE BRITISH GIRLS CHAMPIONSHIP


Steady rain began to fall from around 5pm as it began to look as if 11-over-par 155 would be the cut-off figure for qualifying, with or without a play-off.
Carly Booth, who had the lowest handicap in the field - +3.1 – was not going to make the cut with her total of 157 unless the deteriorating conditions made the scores soar in the last hour of play.
At 6.45pm there were 59 players with totals of 155 (11 over par) or better. Eighteen players still had to finish at that point. All bar one broke 80 in the first round.
Laura Gonzalez-Escallon from Belgium joined Ana Fernandez de Mesa in the lead at one-under 143 with a second-round 73.
In joint third place on 144 were Kelsey MacDonald and the overnight leader from Israel, Laetitia Beck who had a 76, eight shots worse than her first-day effort.
England (290) were heading for victory in the team event ahead of Spain (290).
