Record-setting Scottish Under-21 open champion India Clyburn (Woodhall Spa) from Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire has kept up her marvellous run of form to reach the last four of the British girls open amateur championship at Masserene Golf Club in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
Since her 12-shot runaway win at Alloa, India - named after the late Lord Mountbatten's grand daughter - has won the English girls' title and won all six ties for England in the girls home internationals.
Now Clyburn - younger sister of Ladies European Tour star Holly - is through to a semi-final in the morning against Alejandra Pasarin (Spain), having beaten another Spanish player, Elene Hualde Zuniga at the 20th hole this afternoon.
India, who has played more than once on the Paul Lawrie Ladies' Tartan Tour to broaden her experience, was behind most of the time in her match with Zuniga, but raised her game under pressure in the closing stages, first to square the contest and then to win it at the second extra hole. The kid's got class - and guts!
An all-England final is a possibility because Surrey's Elizabeth Prior (Burhill) is in the other semi-final. She plays Chiara Mertens (Germany) for a place in the final.
Elizabeth won her quarter-final by 6 and 5 against Elodie Van Dievoet (Belgium).
