KILMACOLM PLAYER SHOOTS 74-68 FOR EIGHT-UNDER 142

EILIDH BRIGGS SHARING LEAD 

IN WELSH OPEN STROKE-PLAY

Kilmacolm's Eilidh Briggs is sharing the 36-hole lead with Gemma Clews (Delamere Forest) in the
Welsh women's open amateur stroke play golf championship at Prestatyn Golf Club.
Both player shot 74-68 for eight-under-par tallies of 142 over the par-75 ladies course at the Welsh venue.
Briggs' seven-under 68 included an eagle 3 at the 10th and six birdies but her only bogey, at the very last hole, cost her the outright lead.
Next best Scot is Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies), runner-up in last week's Helen Holm Scottish stroke-play championship at Troon and last year's Scottish Under-18 girls champion.
Connie has had rounds of 73 and 74 for 146.
Scottish champion Alyson McKechin (Elderslie)is on 149 (74-75), Lauren Whyte (St Regulus) 152 (77-75), Hannah McCook (Grantown on Spey) 156 (81-75) and Germany-based Scot Fiona Liddell 159 (82-77).
