Low scoring over Old Course under bright blue skies

Kylie leads from Carly with

one round to go in 'St Rule'



Defending champion Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) leads the St Rule Trophy field into the final round of the 54-hole tournament at St Andrews.
Kylie, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency, shot a great round of 71 over the Old Course in sunny conditions with a slight breeze off the sea this morning.
Coupled with her New Course 76 from Saturday, Miss Walker was on four-under-par 47.
Curtis Cup teenager Carly Booth, who managed to get into the field off the waiting list comparatively late in the day, did even better than the leader with a brilliant 70 over the Old Course.
That was nine shots better than her New Course score, giving her a 36-hole tally of 149.
Blackburn's Nikki Foster (Pleasington) also had a low round over the Old Course this morning - a 71, which represented a nine-stroke improvement on her first-round New Course effort.
