Kylie Walker (78) leading Scot in
European individual championship

The three Scots entries in the quality field for the European women's individual amateur championship were well off the pace at the end of the first of four rounds at Schloss Schonburn Golf Club in Austria.
Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle), beaten by Roseanne Niven in a play-off for the British women's open amateur stroke-play title last Friday, was in joint 53rd place in a field of 132 with a round of 78 over the par-73 course.
Kylie birdied the seventh and 17th in halves of 39 (three over par) and 39 (two over). She ran up a double bogey 7 at the par-5 last hole.
Majorca-based Scot Lauren Mackin had a 79 (39-40). Her only birdie came at the 12th.
Gemma Webster (Hilton Park)had a 13-over-par 86 with halves of 44 and 42. She had double bogeys at the fourth, the short fifth and the long 13th.
Christel Boeljohn from the Netherlands was the first round leader with a four-under-par 69.
She had a one-shot advantage over four players, including Spanish teenager Carlota Ciganda who won this European title four years ago when she was 14. She also won the British women's open amateur title last year at Leeds and did not defend it at North Berwick in June.
Laura Gonzalez-Escallon, the Belgian teenager who won the British girls' open amateur championship at Monifieth a couple of weeks ago, is in sixth place on 71.
