FIONA DE VRIES IS STILL IN THERE
PITCHING FOR SENIOR BRITISH TITLE

Fiona de Vries lost her overnight lead but she is still in there pitching for the title with one round to go in the Senior British women's open amateur golf championship over a very wet course at Hilton Templepatrick Golf Club near Belfast.
The St Andrews hotelier followed up an opening five-over-par 75, which had been good enough to give her a one shot lead, with a 77 for 10-over-par 152 at the 36-hole mark.
Susan Dye (Delamere Forest), thje English seniors champion, slipped past the Scot into the pole position with a 75 to take a one-shot lead on 152.
Another English player, Jane Rees from Hendon, also had a 75, the joint lowest score of the day, to be lying third on 153.
Scottish senior match-play champion Lorna Bennett (Ladybank) is not out of contention by any means on 156. She had a 77 to be joint fifth at the end of the second day.
Defending champion Alison Murdoch from Vancouver is 10 shots off the pace after rounds of 82 and 79 for 161 and a share of 14th place.
Only those with two-round totals of 168 or better will contest the final round.
Scots who did not survive the cut included Noreen Fenton (Merchants of Edinburgh) on 169 and Karen Ballantyne (Craigmillar Park) on 175.
