Bronte Law leads English Under-15 girls'
championship with a 74 at The Wiltshire
NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION
Cheshire’s Bronte Law scored a two-over par 74 to take the first-round lead in the English girls’ Under-15 championship at The Wiltshire.
“I’m happy with that,” said the 14-year-old. “It was very windy and conditions were tough but I managed to hit the greens when I needed to.”
Her round included two birdies and an eagle 3 on the 11th where she holed a 30ft putt.
Bronte, a scratch player from Bramhall, is enjoying a great season. She’s the Cheshire girls’ champion, has made her debut in the Cheshire ladies’ first team and helped England win the team trophy at the Scottish Under-16 stroke-play championship – among other successes.
She’s closely followed by two Warwickshire county players. Elizabeth Mallett, 15, shot 75 with three birdies on her back nine, while EWGA Midlands South champion Ashley Cramond, 15, is a stroke further back.
“It’s a very nice course but the wind is making it tricky to score,” said Ashley, who described her round as: “All right, but could have been better. It was a good start overall and I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”
Also on four-over 76 is Lancashire’s Emily Taylor who is just back from the European Young Masters in France, where she helped a mixed England team into fourth place. However, local hope Hannah Turland had a disappointing first round.
The Wiltshire county champion, who will play for England in next week’s girls’ home internationals, was 13-over par.
After tomorrow’s second round the field will be cut to the leading 36 players and ties, who will play the final 36 holes on Thursday.
