MCNICOLL AND FEGGANS ONLY TWO SCOTS TO MAKE THE CUT IN SPAIN

Only two of the four Scots in the field - Carnoustie's Katy McNicoll and Pamela Feggans from Patna, Ayrshire - survived the second-round cut in the Ocho Golf Ladies Open at Galicia, Spain today (Thursday).

Krystle (Caithness) Falkner from St Andrews, Alford's Laura Murray, Michele Thomson from Ellon and Heather MacRae (Gleneagles) all missed out.

In coolish temperatures of around 12 to 15 degrees, with a bit if a breeze to be taken into account, McNicoll (pictured right in her Royal and Awesome trendy clothes) birdied the first, 10th and 16th on her way to a one-under-par 70 and a tally of one-over 141. She will start the final round in  joint 13th place, eight shots behind the leader by two, Mireia Prat (Spain) (68-65 for 133).

Feggans, playing tournament golf this week the first time since stubbing and breaking a big toe at home on April 1, shot steady rounds of 71 and 72 and is joint 19th on 143.

Falkner was one shot outside joining the 42 players who survived on 145 and better.  Krystle had a pair of 73s.

Murray, playing out of the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre, scored 73-74 for 147 - two too many - and MacRae paid the price of never mastering the inward half. She reached the turn in a highly respectable 34 both days but finished up with scores of 76 and 75 for 151.
