Donald Ross Junior International Royal Dornoch

By Robin Wilson

Swedish teenager Stina Resen is in line to become the first girl to win the Donald Ross Junior International at Royal Dornoch after the three handicapper from Oslo broke the par of 72 by two shots over the Struie course yesterday with two halves of 35 for 70.

She carries her two shot lead, which will increase to five for course adjustment against the boys, into today's (Wednesday) final round played over the championship course. Leading the challenge from the boys with 72's are Will Rennie (Hazelhead) (34/38) and North of Scotland Boy's Champion Lyle McAlpine (Invergordon) 37/35. They in turn are one ahead of Martin Laing (Inverness) (36/37) and Ross Proctor (Forres) who came home in 33 for his 73.
