THREE SCOTS IN FIELD FOR PORTUGUESE INTERNATIONAL CH/SHIP

Three Scots - Alyson McKechin (Elderslie), Ailsa Summers (Carnoustie Ladies) and Germany-based Rachel Taylor - are in the field for the Portuguese women's amateur international stroke-play championships over four rounds, starting at Montado Golf Resort, Lisbon tomorrow. Favourite is the 17-year-old Irish twin, Leona Maguire (Slieve Russell), who won this title by the astonishing margin of 11 strokes last year.
Since then Leona has won the British and Irish women's open amateur stroke play championships. She now has +5 of a handicap.
