They are Hazel MacGarvie (Troon Ladies) with scores of 71 and 73 for 144 and a share of fifth place; Aboyne's Shannon McWilliam,  tied 16th on 147 (74-73) and local player Kirsty Brodie, joint 18th with 75-73 for 148 
 Norway's Celine Borge, who had six birdies in seven holes from the 10th to the 16th on her way to an inward 32 and a 69, and London's Annabell Fuller (Roehampton) (71-70) share the lead on three-under-par 141.
Annabell had a double bogey 5 at the short 13th after going out in 33.
GB and I Junior Vagliano Trophy team player MacGarvie had birdies at the third, sixth, 10th and 14th but was dragged down by bogeys at the 11th,12th and 15th for 39 home.
McWilliam had a double bogey 6 at the eighth and had to birdie two par-5 holes,the 12th and 14th, to salvage a 73.
Hazlehead's Jasmine Mackintosh ran up a 9 at the par-4 ninth in compiling an 82 for 156.
Megan Robb (Peterculter), 82-77 for 159, made the cut to the leading 60 and ties with nothing to spare.
