KELSEY MAKES CUT ON PRO DEBUT BUT KYLIE BOWS OUT

Kelsey MacDonald survived the cut in her pro debut in Turkey today but she cut it fine.

The Stirling student and Nairn Dunbar member dropped five shots to par in her first five holes but three birdies - the most vital one under pressure at the 17th - got her a 77 for 153, one shot inside the qualifying mark at the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open at the National Golf Club, Belek.

Not so fortunate was Kylie Walker. She dropped three shots over the last five holes and a 78 put her one over the limit mark on 154.

Vikki Laing from Musselburgh is the top Scot on four-over 150 after a par-matching 73 with birdies at the short 11th, 13th and 18th in her outward half, having teed off at the 10th.

Pamela Pretswell is still not firing on all cylinders but a repeat 76, which included a double bogey 5 at the short 16th saw her safely through on 152.

Carly Booth was in the danger zone overnight after a first-round 78 and an opening nine holes that contained only one par figure did not augur well for the inward half.
But the Comrie player steadied up with seven pards plus a birdie at the long 13th - her fourth of the round - and just one bogey, at the short 16th - for a 75 and 153.

England's veteran duo, Trish Johnson (71-71) and Laura Davies (72-70) are sharing the lead on 142 with late finisher Carmen Alonso (70-72), one shot ahead of the Spanish first-round leader Carlota Ciganda (69-74).

How hot is it in the Antalya region of Turkey? Today around 23 degrees, one or two degrees cooler than yesterday.
