European championship

The Scot shot four steady rounds - 71, 71, 70 and 71 for a total of five-under-par 283, an indication that she is recapturing the form that made her a GB and I international in the Astor Trophy tournament in Australia in January.
The winner was Spain's Maria Parra Luque who caught St Rule Trophy winner and long-time leader Aditi Ashok from Bangalore, India over the final round.
The Sotogrande player shot 69, 69, 67 and 68 for 15-under 273, two shots better than Ashok who had rounds of 67, 68, 69 and 71.
World No 3 female amateur Bronte Law from Cheshire was the leading British and Irish player in joint fourth place on 279 with scores of 71, 69,69 and 70.
Germany-based Scot Rachael Taylor looked set for a high finish but slumped to a 77 in the final round for 292
Jess Meek (Carnoustie Ladies) finished 61st, also finishing with a 77, for 296.]
Clara Young (North Berwick), the current Scottish women's champion, and Gabrielle MacDonald (Craigielaw), last year;s Scottish title-winner, both missed the cut. So too did Germany-based Fiona Liddell, winner of the Scottish U18 girls championship this year and last.
