Sally Watson misses Florida cut
in post-operation comeback

Curtis Cup teenager Sally Watson from Edinburgh missed the 36-hole cut in her comeback appearance after a knee operation in early June.
Sally, a student at the David Leadbetter Golf Academy, Bradenton, Florida, scored 75 and 76 for a seven-over-par total of 151 in the American Junior Golf Association's Polo Junior Classic at the Ginn Reunion Resort, Florida.
She missed the cut by three strokes after running up a double bogey at the eighth and bogeys at the fourth, 13th and 18th. Her only birdie came at the short 16th.
Two California youngsters, Jane Rah (Torrance) and Jennifer Johnson (La Quinta) share the lead on five-under-par 139.
Sally Watson, 17, will start a four-year golf scholarship at Tiger Wood's old college, Stanford University, California, next autumn.
