Hannah McCook lying 4th in Argentina 

Women's Open despite late double bogey

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Hannah McCook shot a level-par 71 to be sharing fourth place at the end of the first round of the Argentina Open women's golf tournament at the Hurlingham Club, Buenos Aires today (Thursday).

The Grantown on Spey golfer from Nethybridge would have been in second place on her own but for a double bogey 6 at the 17th hole.

Earlier Hannah had birdied the short third, the long sixth and 11th, and the par-4 16th, with only one bogey, at the eighth in halves of 34 and 37.

McCook is five shots behind the leader by four, Argentina amateur Agustina Zeballos.

Second place is shared by Argentina professional Sofia Toccafondi and amateur Laura Edmonds, also of the host country.

Ireland's Jessica Ross had an 81.
