Solid day's work fires Watson to top spot for Carnoustie

A marvellous three-under-par 69, the best score in either qualifying round, earned Scotland's Sally Watson the honour of being leading qualifier for the British Women's Open Amateur Championship matchplay stages at Carnoustie, writes Colin Farquharson.

Watson, originally from South Queensferry but whose family home is now Elie, Fife, tied with the French 18-year-old Celine Boutier on three-under-par 141, but the Scot's better second round – 69 to 71 – earned her the No.1 seeding.
