In the semi-finals spotlight: Jane Turner v Megan Briggs and Elaine Moffat v Louise Kenney

This afternoon's semi-finals in the 95th Scottish women's closed amateur championship over the Southerness links at the Solway Firth will feature 19-year-old Jane Turner (Mortonhall) against 20-year-old Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm) and "fortysomething" Elaine Moffat (St Regulus) versus 26-year-old Louise Kenney Pitreavie)
Aberdeenshire's surviving players, Carol Wilson (Murcar Links) and Laura Murray (Alford) were both beaten in this morning's quarter-finals.
Carol, the 16th qualifier for the match-play stages, toppled the No 1 seed Pamela Pretswell in the second round but she could not raise her game a second time and went down by 4 and 3 to Robert Gordon University student Jane Turner (Mortonhall), the British universities championship and the No 8 qualifier.
Turner won three holes in a row with par figures from the eighth in the decisive swing of the match. Three up on the 11th tee, Jane double bogeyed the 12th to keep Wilson's hopes alive.
Then Turner birdied the 14th and won the 15th with a par to finish the match. Jane had only one birdie in the match, at the long 14th, and was several over par for the 15 holes played.
In the battle of the fourth and fifth seeds, Megan Briggs beat Laura Murray (Alford) by 3 and 1.
Briggs had been two up after nine but Murray won back the 12th and there was little in it until Briggs suddenly produced scoring fireworks. She birdied the long 13th, the long 14th and another par-5 hole, the 16th.
Murray was able to halve the 13th and 14th but could not match her opponent's 4 at the 16th. Briggs finished the tie off in the grand style with a 2 at the short 17th, her fourth birdie in the last five holes for a victory that put her in against Jane Turner in the first semi-final.

Megan was two under par for the match.
The other semi-final will feature the 1998 Scottish champion at North Berwick, Elaine Moffat (St Regulus), and Fife county team-mate Louise Kenney (Pitreavie).
Moffat, the oldest of the quarter-finalists, beat the youngest - 14-year-old Lesley Atkins (Minto) by 4 and 3 with level par figures.

Atkins won the second with a par but bogeyed the fourth to be pulled back to all square. After four halved holes, young Lesley boged the ninth and the 11th to fall two down.

Moffat was able to go three up even with a bogey 5 at the 12th. After a half in birdie 4s at the par-5 13th, Elaine also got a birdie 4 at the lonth 14th to go four up. A half in 3 at the short 15th finished the tie.
Kenney, the 10th qualifier, was four under par in beating the No 2 seed Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) by 3 and 2.

Louise won the first hole with a birdie but bogeyed the second and third to go one down. The next eight holes were halved in one under par figures - both birdied the ninth and the rest were halved in regulation.

Kylie bogeyed the 12th to be pulled back to all square. Kenney produced eagle 3s at the long 13th and long 14th to win them both and then took her fourth hole in a row for a three-hole lead with a par 3 at the 15th.
A half in par at the 16th ended the contest in Kenney's favour.
The afternoon Clark Rosebowl final will be contested by Louise Fraser (Kingsknowe) and young Sammy Vass (Tain).
Louise beat Jenny Jenkins (Ralston) by 5 and 3 while Sammy beat Linda Urquhart (Banchory) 4 and 2 in the other semi-final.
