GLASGOW PLAYER FAILS TO MAKE IT TO LET FINAL Q SCHOOL

HEARTBREAK FINISH FOR GEMMA 

WEBSTER AFTER a 10 AT 14th HOLE

Glasgow's Gemma Webster failed to qualify for the Ladies European Tour Final Qualifying School at Marrakech next month after running up a 10 at a par-5 hole in a disastrous final inward half at the Pre-qualifier A competition over 72 holes at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, Rabat in Morocco today.
With the leading 29 and ties in a field of 51 to qualify, Gemma (pictured above), was set to make the grade after rounds of 78, 77, 75 and birdies at the second and fifth in her last round.
But it all went pear-shaped for Webster after that.
She bogeyed the sixth, seventh and eighth in an outward half of 37.
A double bogey 6 at the 11th had the danger signals flashing and when she ran up a 10 at the par-5 14th, she was on a tightrope without a safety net.
Gemma was still joint 29th, which would have got her through, with three holes to play.
Three par figures to finish would have done the trick but, sadly, she bogeyed the 16th and 18th to come home in 45 blows for an 82 and a joint 31st placing on 312.
Thirty players with totals of 310 won their way through to the Final Q School from December 17 to 21.
Webster was the only Scot in the Pre-qualifier A competition. Other Scots are in the fields for Pre-qualifiers B and C while Laura Murray and Jane Turner go straight through to the Final Q School on the strength of her consistent performances on the LETAS developmental circuit.
USA-born Sophia Popov, who has been brought up in Germany for whom she played as an amateur, headed the field at Rabat with a four-under-par total of 284.
Runner-up was another German amateur international, Sophia Cowan, daughter of an English club pro in Germany. She finished on 285.
They were the only two players to finish under par for the four rounds
