GEMMA DRYBURH ONE OFF THE PACE IN CALIFORNIA

Aberdeen-born former Curtis Cup player Gemma Dryburgh is in joint fourth position, one shot off the pace, after the first round the Symetra Tour event, the IOA Championship at Beaumont, California.

Gemma shot a four-under-par 68 to be one of three players on the 68 mark. Ahead of the Scot on 67 are Sophia Popov (Germany), Samantha Richdale (Canada) and Emily Tubert (USA).

Another past GB and I international, Bronte Law, is T7 on 69. Compatriots Charlotte Thomas and Ellie Givens had scores of 73 and 76 respectively.

Thomas is T45 and Givens, in danger of missing the cut, at T80.
