INDIA CLYBURN 14th, FIONA LIDDELL
19th AT JUNIOR ORANGE BOWL FINISH
Scottish Under-21 girls' open champion India Clyburn (Woodhall Spa) from Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire finished 14th while Scottish Under-18 girls title-holder, Germany-based Fiona Liddell, tied for 19th position in a field of 34 at the conclusion of the Junior Orange Bowl girls' 72-hole championship over the Biltmore course (6,089yd, par-71) at Coral Gables, Florida.
Neither player mastered the grainy greens over the four days at the end of which South Korea's Juwon Jeong beat Sweden's first-round leader Linnea Strom at the third hole of a sudden-death play-off.
They had tied on one-under-par 283, Jeong closing with a 71 and Storm a 69. Jeong birdied all three of the extra holes.
Clyburn, younger sister of LET player Holly, had rounds of 78, 74, 74 and 76 for 18-over-par 302.
Liddell, whose father Stephen is a Scots-born club pro in Germany, at Schloss Vornholz near Gutersloh, scored 75, 78, 76 and 77 for a disappointing total of 306.
Clyburn, in the final round, bogeyed five of the first seven holes and then parred the last 11 holes in halves of 40-36.
Liddell birdied the fourth and nine but had a double bogey at the fifth as well as bogeys at the second, third, sixth, eighth, 15th and 17th in halves of 39-38.
