Anne Laing lying third after two rounds

DEFENDING champion Anne Laing from Vale of Leven has a six-stroke leeway to make up over Sunday's final 36 holes if she is to retain the Irish women's open amateur stroke-play championship, with the prizes sponsored by Waterford Crystal, at Dundalk Golf Club.
Anne, first winner of the British women's mid-amateur championship at The Berkshire recently, shot steady rounds of 72 and 73 for a halfway total of 145. That score was one under par but only good enough to see her in third place overnight.


Rebecca Coakley from Carlow, who halted Curtis Cup player Alison Coffey's bid to win the Irish women's closed title for a third year in a row by beating her 4 and 3 in the final back in late June, is the three-stroke leader from Martina Gillen, whom she beat in the semi-finals of their national championship.
Rebecca was a couple of shots adrift of Anne Laing's 72 at the end of the first round when the lead was being disputed on 71 by Cara Gruber from Stirling University and Royal Dornoch and Siobhan McCartan (Greenore).
Coakley then spreadeagled the field with a wonderful second round of eight-under-par 65 for a 36-hole total of seven-under 139.
Rebecca was out in 31, thanks to four birdies and an eagle, and she came home in 34 by boosting her tally of birdies to six.
Martina Gillen (Kent State University and Beaverstown) was the only other player to break 70 all day and her second-round 69 pushed her up into second place on 142, three shots off the pace, with two rounds to go.

British and Scottish universities champion Lynn Kenny (Stirling University and Dunblane) took closer order with a 73, three shots better than her opening effort, and was lying sixth overnight on 149.
Past Scottish champion Linzi Morton had a 74 and 77 for 151, two shots better than Lyndsey Devenish (University of San Francisco and Cruden Bay), 76 and 77, and Cara Gruber who slipped back to and 82 after her first-round heroics.
