KYLIE, NOW FIFTH, RUES LATE DOUBLE BOGEY

KYLIE, NOW 5TH, RUES LATE DOUBLE BOGEY

Kylie (Walker) Henry moved up to fifth place with a second-round, three-under-par 69 in the Joburg Ladies Open at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club today (Monday).

The Glasgow player is on three-under-par 141, four shots behind the leader, England's Lauren Taylor (68-69) who was the youngest ever winner of the British women's open amateur championship at Royal Portrush in 2011.

Kylie, who married tour player Scott Henry earlier this year, would have had only two shots to make up over the final round had she parred the short 16th in her second round instead of running up a double bogey 5.

Henry had five birdies on the day.
