CARLY KEEPS THE LEAD IN DEFENCE
OF EURO YOUNG MASTERS TITLE


Defending champion Carly Booth is trying to make every post a winning one as she enters the final day of the European Young Masters at Chantilly Golf Club, France.
The first-round leader with a 72, the 16-year-old Curtis Cup player from Comrie again matched par with a 72 and leads by one shot on 144 with one round to go in the girls' championship.
Her closest rivals on 145 are one of the 13-year-old Irish twins, Lisa Maguire, with 74 and 71, and Spain's Anna Arrese with 73 and 72.
The second of the Irish twins, Leona is in fifth place on 148 with 78 and 70.
Eilidh Briggs from Kilmacolm had an 82 for 166.
In the boys' championship, also over 54 holes, Scots Andrew McLachlan (Bonnyton) and Deeside's Jack Scott are down the field on 156 and 157 respectively, compared with the leading tally of 141 by Jacques Brun.
McLachlan slipped from a 75 to a second-round 81 but Scott improved by nine shots with a 74.
