Gemma and Katy miss the US Futures Q School cut in Florida

Glasgow's Gemma Webster and Katy McNicoll from Carnoustie failed to survive the fourth round cut which reduced the US Futures Tour Qualifying School tournament field to 99 players at Winterhaven, Florida today.
Gemma had rounds of 77, 78, 74 and 76 over the four Central Florida courses for a total of 17-over-par 305 while Katy scored 78, 76, 77 and 75 for 306. Webster was joint 138th and McNicoll joint 145th. The Scots would have had to score 301 or better to get through to the fifth and final round.
Woburn amateur Tilly Magill, who was Tilly Holder, also missed out on 307 with scores of 78, 72, 77 and 80 for joint 157th ploace.
All 263 players who completed four rounds will get a ranking for the 2010 Futures Tour season but the less highly-placed competitors will get into fewer events.
Curtis Cup player Jodi Ewart from Catterick, Yorkshire, a final-year student at New Mexico University, goes into the final round on a high after matching the tournament low score of five-under-par 67 in the fourth round.
Jodi is on six-under-par 282 after earlier rounds of 69, 73 and 73. She intends turning pro after the 2010 Curtis Cup match in the States.
Another English amateur, Scots pro's daughter Rachel Connor (Manchester) dropped back to joint 42nd place from 11th place overnight after running up an 80 in the fourth round for 294. Her earlier rounds had been 73, 72 and 69.
Americans Danielle Mills and 2008 Curtis Cup player Tiffany Joh jointly lead the field by six strokes on 13-under-par 275.
