Kelsey climbs into Belgian title
picture as Scott slips back
Scott Gibson fell out of contention in the boys’ section but girls’ defending champion Kelsey MacDonald moved to within one shot of the leader on the second day of the Belgian junior international tournament at Royal Golf Club of Belgium at Teravuren, near Brussels today.
Stirling University student Kelsey, a member of Nairn Dunbar Golf Club, vbirdied the fifth, eighth, ninth and 38th in returning one-under-par 71 for a 36-hole tally of one-over-par 145.
The repeating Scottish Under-21 champion, pictured in Belgium this week, is now breathing down the neck of halfway leader Marianna Causin, the Italian who had a 74 for 144.
Rachel Watton (Mortonhall) had a nightmare inward half of 47 in a second-round 83 for 164, which placed her 48th in the girls’ field of 54 competitors.
Scott Gibson slipped from a 71 to a 77 for 148 which put him in a share of 18th place in the boys’ field of 84. The Southerness 16-year-old started with a double bogey 7 and had another double bogey at the 11th as well as birdies at the seventh and 13th .
Jack McDonald (Kilmarnock Barassie) moved above his compatriot with a 73 for 147 and a share of 14th place on 147. Jack also ran up a 7 at the difficult long opening hole but birdies at the fifth, sixth, 14th and 18th helped him to repeat the damage.
He is six shots behind the Dutch leader, Dylan Boshart who had a 71 for 138.
