HEATHER MUNRO from Monifieth and Kilwinning's Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies) are Scotland's only two representatives among the 64 players who have come through the two-round stroke-play qualifying test and now go into the match-play stages this morning (Thurdsay).
It's deserved joy for Munro, who tied for fifth place with scores of 71 and 72 for 143 - eight shots behind top seed Leona Maguire, and Connie who tied for 12th place with scores of 75 and 70 for 145.
But there was heartache for three Scots, Germany-based Fiona Liddell, Hannah McCook (Grantown on Spey) and St Andrews University student Gabrielle MacDonald (Craigielaw) who were involved in a card countback for the last of the 64 places.
Seven players in all were on the limit mark of 151 and there was room for only one to go forward to the match-play.
McCook (73-78), Liddell (76-75) and MacDonald (77-74) lost out to Martina Edberg (Sweden) whose second-round 73 was the best effort by anyone in the seven.
Other Scots for whom the championship is now over were Chloe Goadby (St Regulus), who had a pair of 77s for 154, Scottish champion Clara Young (North Berwick, who totalled 155 with scores of 78 and 77, Jess Meek (Carnoustie Ladies) (74-83 for 157), Germany-based US college student Rachael Taylor (80-79 for 159) and Iona Stephen (Wentworth) with 78-83 for 161.
Lauren Whyte (St Regulus), like Jess Meek a student at a US college, withdrew from the tournament after a first-round 82.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
