By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Comrie's Carly Booth shot one of the lowest rounds of the day - a four-under-par 68 - but missed the cut by one after 36 holes of the ISPS Handa Ladies European Masters at Buckinghamshire Golf Club, Denham toda
Carly had two double bogeys in her first-round 77 and she could not quite make up the leeway.
To make the last round she had to reach level par 144 or better.
An eagle 3 at the ninth and birdies at the short fifth, 11th, 13th and long 14th gave her a fighting chance but a double bogey 6 at the 16th was the knock-out blow.
Even though Majorca-based Carly birdied the 17 for two-under 34 home, it was too little too late. A brave effort, nevertheless.
That leaves three Scots in the final round - Kyle Walker who had a 8 to be joint seventh on135, Pamela Pretswell, a 69 for 137 and a share of 14th place, and Vikki Laing, a 71 for 141 and joint 34th place among the qualifiers.
Walker had five birdies and one bogey. One of her birdies came at the 17th, a hole which cost Pretswell a double bogey 6 to take the shine off a round which had earlier included six birdies.
Laing had four birdies in her 71 but three bogeys as well.
There's a three-way tie for the lead at 12-under-par 132. Caroline Masson (Germany) has had scores of 63 and 69, South African Ashleigh Simon, also 63-69, and Czech Republic youngster Klara Spilkova has had a pair of 66s.

Klara Spilkova (picture by courtesy of the LET) of the Czech Republic overcame a three shot deficit to
move into a share of the lead with Germany’s Caroline Masson and South
African Ashleigh Simon heading into the final round of the ISPS HANDA
Ladies European Masters at the home of the Ladies European Tour.
Spilkova fired a second successive six-under 66 on the Buckinghamshire
Golf Course in Denham, England, to join the first round leaders on a
36-hole total of 132, 12-under-par. Australian Bree Arthur also had a 66
to lie one shot back in outright fourth.
The 18-year-old from Prague will be trying to claim her first Ladies
European Tour victory whilst simultaneously qualifying for next week’s
Ricoh Women’s British Open. The top three players not already exempt
will book their place by Sunday night.
“It was pretty good today,” said Spilkova, now in her third season on
the LET.
“I really like the course. I enjoy the views and the greens are
very good. I like the fairways to be a bit hard and the drives run. I
really want to win because it’s going to be my first and it would be
something special.”
Masson led for most of the day after firing four birdies on the front nine but was disappointed to bogey the last for a 69.
The 24-year-old European Solheim Cup team hopeful from Gladbeck said:
“I’m not very happy about my finish, obviously. The only dropped shot
today, on 18, I three-putted and that felt a bit unnecessary. I made a
good save on 17 after I hit it in the water, so I hit some great shots
today but ended up in a bad lie here or there. "I couldn’t get them as
close as yesterday but that’s always what you expect when you play the
next day, because you’re expectations are pretty high. I think I managed
pretty well apart from 18. I’m still in the lead so I think it was a
good two days.”
Simon, who also shot 69, will be hoping to make amends for the
disappointment of 12 months ago, when she was leading by two strokes
going into the final round at Buckinghamshire Golf Club but shot a final
round 76 to end in a share of third place.
“Last year I was leading by two going into the final round here and
I’ve learned from that hopefully,” said the 24-year-old from
Johannesburg.
Conditions were hot and sunny all day until a brief shower at 5pm as
Simon finished her round. “It was a bit tougher; the course was a lot
bouncier and you had to change some clubs off the tee because the ball
was just running. The greens were still very good but I think the rain
tonight will definitely soften it up,” she said.
England’s Charley Hull and Marion Ricordeau share fifth place, just two shots off the lead going into the final round.
“I’ve been in this position five times this year, so it should be
good!” said rookie professional Hull, who had five runner-up finishes in
her first five starts on tour this year.
Meanwhile, four players, including the world No.7, Karrie Webb, lie in a share of seventh on nine-under-par.
Webb went out in one-over 37 and was 10 shots behind Masson at the turn. However, she fired five birdies in a row from the 10th and birdied the 18th to come back in 30, ending the day just three shots off the lead.
Webb fought through heavy wind gusts to win the ShopRite Classic in the
USA last month and with dry but windy conditions, gusting up to 30
miles per hour forecast for Sunday, she will be one to watch in the
final round.QUALIFIERS FOR FINAL ROUND
