LEONA AND BRONTE STILL WELL UP IN LPGA QUALIFIER

Curtis Cup players, who are still amateurs, Leona Maguire (Ireland) and England's Bronte Law are lying joint third in a field of 192 players with one round to go in the LPGA Qualifying School Stage 2 eliminator at Venice, Florida.
Only the leading 80 and ties after Sunday's fourth and final round will advance to the next stage.
Maguire has had rounds of 72, 67 and 74, Law 69, 70 and 74, for three-under-par tallies of 213 - three behind the leader by five shots, Norway's Marianne Skarpnord who won the British girls' open amateur title in 2003. She has had three very good scores of 69, 68 and 69 for 10-under 206.
Only Kylie Walker and Gemma Dryburgh of the four Scots in the field looks to have good prospects of making the top 80. They are currently T27 on 219. Walker has scored 71, 72 and 76, Dryburgh 73,71 and 75.
Compatriots Sally Watson and amateur Rachael Taylor are out of the potential qualifying zone after 54 holes.
Watson is T92 on 226 (75-78-73) but did improve from T137 with her third round.
Taylor is T112 on 228 (77-74-77).
Edinburgh-based American Beth Allen is T22 on 218 (67-75-76).
