KELSEY JOINT NINTH AT HALFWAY IN SOUTH ATLANTIC AMATEUR

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Scottish champion Kelsey MacDonald goes into the third round of the South Atlantic women's amateur championship in joint ninth place but she will have been disappointed to lose ground on the leaders with a second-round 79 (40-39) - five shots worse than her opening effort - for a 36-hole tally of 153 at Oceanside Country Club, Ormond Beach - the second event on Florida's Orange Blossom Tour.
The Stirling University student and Nairn Dunbar GC member, who had a demoralising start of double bogey 6s at the first two holes, is now 11 shots behind teenage leader Jaye Marie Green from Boca Raton, Florida.
Winner of the recent Polo Junior Classic girls' title and joint fourth in the Dixie Women's Amateur since then, Jaye Marie has had rounds of 69 and 73 to leave by five shots with a two-under-par total of 142.
But 14-year-old Northamptonshire player Charley Hull has plenty of reasons to be cheerful. After her strong show in last week's Harder Hall Invitational, the Kettering GC player is in the thick of things again with scores of 74 and 75 (37-38) for 149, which puts her in joint fourth place with two rounds to go.
Hull too had an early double bogey 6 on her card but bounced back with birdies at the sixth, eighth and 12th.
English Curtis Cup player Holly Clyburn (Woodhall Spa) is on 158 after scores of 80 and 78.
Next best Scots after 36 holes are Stirling student Rebecca Wilson from the Grange club, Monifieth and Elderslie's Alyson McKechin who does not enrol at Stirling until the autumn.
Rebecca has had rounds of 82 and 80 for 162 and joint 32nd place. Alyson has shot 79 and 84 for 163. She shares 35th place with Ashleigh Albrecht who won the Harder Hall Invitational.
