CARLY MOVES UP INTO SHARE OF THIRD PLACE
IN SWEDISH GIRLS’ TOURNAMENT


Perthshire’s Carly Booth managed to get only one birdie in a second-round 74 but she still managed to moved up into a share of third place in the Skandia Junior Open girls’ tournament at Bastad Golf Club, Sweden today (Saturday).
Carly, who has her 15th birthday next month, birdied the fourth in very steady halves of 36 and 38 for a three-over-par round, her second 74 of the competition.
On 148, she is seven shots behind the leader, Swedish girl Caroline Hedwall who had a superb second round of 67, covering the inward half in only 31 shots, for a two-round tally of one-under-par 141. She leads by five strokes from compatriot Nathalie Mansson.
In the Skandia Junior Open boys’ competition at Falkenberg Golf Club, near Gothenburg, Paul Shields (Kirkhill) was lying ninth equal after rounds of 70 and 76 for 146. Paul had birdies at the first, seventh and 11th in his second round but seven bogeys cancelled them out.
Paul and Andrew Campbell (Dumbarton) were the only Scots in the field to survive the 36-hole cut to the leading 48 players and ties.
Andrew Campbell (Dumbarton) was on 157 with scores of 82 and 75.
New Scottish boys’ match-play champion Paul Ferrier (Baberton) was eliminated on 160 after rounds of 78 and 81. He had double bogeys at the second and 13th
William Bremner (Edzell), beaten in the Scottish boys final at Dunbar in April, totalled 162 with scores of 83 and 79.
English boy Andrew Johnston (North Middlesex) shares the lead with two Swedes on 142. Andrew has had rounds of 70 and 72.
