If only Shannon McWilliam could keep a double bogey 6 off her card!
Shannon McWilliam, for the second day in a row, ran up a double bogey 6 over her last few holes in the British women's open amateur stroke play golf championship at Knock Golf Club.
In the first round, she had a 6 at the 15th. In the second round, the 6 happened at the 17th and saw the Aboyne player finish the day with a repeat 76 (37-39) for 152 over the par-73 course. She had four birdies but too many bogeys - five in all plus the double to be lying joint 18th at the halfway stage of the 72-hole event.
Without the double bogeys, Shannon would be four strokes better off, a glimpse of the obvious, but it underlines how damaging her bad holes have been.
Hannah McCook (Grantown on Spey) improved from an 80 to a 74 (36-38) with birdies at the short fourth and par-4 15th.
Chloe Goadby (St Regulus) and Gabrielle MacDonald) are both on the 157 mark - one shot inside the cut. Chloe had three double bogeys in her round of 81, which was five shots worse than her Day 1 effort. Gabrielle went the other way, 81 in the first, and 76 in the second. The former Scottish champion could have been even better for she had a double bogey 6 at the 15th.
Moffat-based Gemma Batty, English-born but hoping to earn a Scotland cap once she completes residential qualifications, is best placed of all the Scottish-based players in joint seventh position. She has had rounds of 77 and 71 (36-35) for 148, four behind the leader, Italian 14-year-old Alessia Nobilio from the Ambrosiano Golf Club.
Alessiawas a beaten semi-finalist in the recent British girls' open amateur championship at Royal St David's Golf Club, Harlech, since when she has won the Belgian girls amateur international stroke-play title.
