Sally making competitive

comeback in AJGA Polo

Golf Junior Classic

Curtis Cup player Sally Watson is making her competitive comeback after a knee operation the week after the match against the United States over the Old Course, St Andrews at the end of May.

Sally, a 17-year-old student at the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in Bradenton, Florida, was lying joint 32nd at the end of the first round of the American Junior Golf Association's Polo Golf Junior Classic at the Ginn Reunion Resort, Florida.

Sally, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency, returned a three-over-par 75 (38-37) to be six shots behind the joint leaders Jennifer Johnson (La Quinta, California) (33-36) and Stephanie Kim (Orlando) (34-35).

Sally bogeyed the third, fourth, 10th and 11th but birdied the short 12th.

The highly-rated American youngster, Alexis Thompson, from Coral Springs, Florida, had a 72 (37-35).
