ANNABEL DIMMOCK CLIMBS UP TO BE

The bad news for lots of interested US colleges is that Annabel Dimmock, winner of the Helen Holm
Scottish women's open amateur stroke-play title at Troon on Sunday, has "no desire to study in the United States."
The 17-year-old Wentworth Club member has been a full-time amateur for several months now - and it is reflected in the rising standard of her golf, with wins on the Orange Blossom Tour, the Sunningdale Foursomes and now the "Helen Holm,"
She also went close in the Spanish women's amateur championship.
I understand Annabel will remain an amateur for the time being with no definite plans for her future apart from not going to college in America.
Her focus is on being selected for the GB and I team of eight for the defence of the Curtis Cup at St Louis, Missouri from June 6 to 8.
The Women's World Amateur Golf Rankings, revised today, see Dimmock surge up from sixth to third among the eligible GB and I players on the back of her "Helen Holm" triumph.
The top 10 GB and I players in the WAGR read:
1 Stephanie Meadow 1484.06
2 Georgia Hall 1384.82
3 Annabel Dimmock 1136.27
4 Bronte Law 1091.59
5 Gemma Dryburgh 1074.42
6 Charlotte Thomas 1061.22
7 Gabriella Cowley 1014.82
8 Elizabeth Mallett 1000.00
9 Hayley Davis 980.
10 Chloe Williams 970.
If the GB and I team were selected this week, Stephanie, Georgia, Annabel and Bronte would be automatic choices.
The LGU Order of Merit has Gabriella Cowley and Paula Grant as best placed to become the automatic
pair of selections from this table.
But there is still the Welsh women's open stroke-play the weekend before the Curtis Cup team is named on May 6
And there are very important US women's college
championships coming up, which could see Gemma Dryburgh (Tulane University) boost her WAGR.
The LGU Selection Panel will name two wild-card selections to complete the eight-strong line-up for St Louis, Missouri in early June.
CURTIS CUP PLACE CONTENDER
CHARLOTTE MAKES TOP 20
Charlotte Thomas, the Surrey-born student at Washington University who is a contender for
a GB and I Curtis Cup place, finished T17 in a field of 55 players at the Pac12 Women's Championship (April 25-27) at Trysting Tree Golf Club, Corvallis, Oregon.
Charlotte, pictured above by Cal Carson Golf Agency, who has spent much of her pre-USA life in Singapore, had rounds of 71, 73 and 77 for a total of 221 over a par-72 course of ,6,256yd.
She finished 10 shots behind the winner by three, Alison Lee (UCLA) (70-72-69 for five-under 111).
Bronte Law (UCLA), a member of the winning GB and I team at Nairn in June 12 and with enough WAGR points in the bank to be almost a certainty for re-selection for this year's team, finished down the field in this tournament.
Bronte, from Bramhall, Cheshire, scored 78, 72 and 80 for 230 and finished T44.
Another English player, Raphaela Dyer (Oregon) finished ahead of her with scores of 77, 74 and 74 for 225 and T29.
Stanford (869) won the team title, one shot ahead of joint runneers-up Arizona and Southern California with UCLA just another shot back in third place on 871 in a field of 11 teams.
HAYLEY JUST OUTSIDE TOP TEN
IN BIG 12 WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Hayley Davis (Baylor) finished T12 in a field of 44 players at the Big 12 Women's Champion at the University of Texas Golf Club.
The Dorset girl, pictured, in her third year at Baylor, shot 74, 78 and 70 for 222 - 13 shots behind the winner by two shots from Thailand, Chirapat Jao-Javanic (Oklahoma) (69-72-68 for seven-under 209).
Former Scottish schoolgirls champion when she was a pupil at Loretto School, Musselburgh - Julie Yang - finished T15 with ronds of 73, 74 and 74 for 223.
Julie is a student at Oklahoma State University.
Oklahoma (861) won the team title from Texas (878) with Baylor (884) third of nine teams.
