Report, scores from Orange Blossom Tour in Florida


Holly Clyburn joint third with one

round to go in "Harder Hall"


England girl international golfer Holly Clyburn from Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire went into the final round of the Harder Hall Women's Invitational in joint third place after very good second and third-day efforts of 67 and 69 at the Harder Hall Golf & Country Club, Sebring, Florida.
Woodhall Spa GC member Holly, 17, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency, was on the 214 mark - her opening round of 78 meant she had a lot of ground to make up - four shots behind the leader, Candace Schepperle from Birmingham, Alabama, Auburn University student and winner of the Dixie Women's Amateur tournament elsewhere in Florida the week before last.
Candace has scored 71, 69 and 70 for 210 and a two-shot lead from Amela Lewis of Jacksonville, Florida.
Several students from Scottish universities are competing in this 72-hole tournament which is the opener in the annual Orange Blossom women's amateur tour of Florida.
Scottish Under-21 girls champion Kelsey MacDonald (Stirling University) was lying joint 15th in the big field with a tally of 226.
Kelsey, who also won the Scottish schoolgirls title in 2008, has had ever-improving rounds of 78, 75 and 73.
Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen student Jane Turner from Penicuik has scored 78,78 and 77 for 233. Another RGU student, Laura Murray from Alford, Aberdeenshire was on 234 after scores of 77, 80 and 77.
Stirling student Rachel Cassidy from Dublin was a shot behind with scores of 81, 80 and 74.
England's Holly Calvert (Stirling University) has shot 78, 80 and 82 for 240.
Two other Stirling students, Scotland junior international Rebecca Wilson from Monifieth and Harriet Beasley from England were on 264 and 268 respectively.
Rebecca has had scores of 88, 85 and 91, Harriet 89, 90 and 89.
