No Scots left in last sixteen of British

girls championship at West Lancs

Two rounds of match-play have whittled the British girls' open amateur championship field of 64 qualifiers down to 16 players at West Lancashire Golf Club.
But it took only one round to snuff out the Scottish challenge.
Kilmacolm's Eilidh Briggs and Carly Booth from Comrie, who qualified in ninth and 10th position respectively, were beaten by Continental players who were 55th and 56th best at the end of the stroke-play eliminator.
After a fairly even start through four holes, Eilidh had slumped to three down against Clemence Abrahamian and her French opponent went on to win by 3 and 2.
Carly lost by 2 and 1 to Spain's Luna Sobron who had been one up after four and two up at the turn.
Carly and her father Wally later alleged to fellow Scot Susan Simpson, the Ladies Golf Union's Head of Golf Operations, that a spectator had stood on Carly's ball in the rough at the 15th, making it a virtually unplayable lie.
Alexandra Peters, 15-year-old Notts Ladies player, knocked out the Spanish No 1 seed, Noemi Jimenez by 5 and 4 in the afternoon's second-round ties with a three-under-par display.
England have the biggest representation in the last 16 - six players - Wales have one, Ireland and Scotland 0. But Spain, to be fair, have only one.
