FROST IN FLORIDA HITS START OF ORANGE BLOSSOM TOUR

Overnight frost at Sebring, Florida  delayed the start of play in the Harder Hall Invitational women's amateur golf tournament - the first of the so called Orange Blossom Tour - but all bar two players in the huge field were able to complete their rounds before darkness fell.
Six Stirling University students are in the field - Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar), Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm), Harret Beasley (Woburn), Jordana Graham (Southerness), Mhairi McKay (West Kilbride) and Rebecca Wilson (Grange, Monifieth).
A seventh - Hannah McCook (Grantown on Spey) - did not fly to Florida until Monday following a wrist operation and she won't play until the second event next week, the South Atlantic Ladies Amateur, known as the "Sally."
Woodhall Spa's Curtis Cup player Holly Clyburn, fourth in the four-round Dixie Amateur which ended elsewhere in Florida on Tuesday and her younger sister India, as well as another teenager, the No 10 world-rankied Charley Hull (Woburn) are also in the star-studded field.
