Melissa Reid leads as Carly Booth
makes the cut with professionals

FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
By BETHAN CUTLER
England’s Melissa Reid shot a two-under-par 70 on the second day of the Ladies English Open at The Oxfordshire Golf Club to take a two-shot lead into the final round.
The Derbyshire 20-year-old, who tied for the first round lead with four other players on 68, finished at six-under-par 138 after 36 holes. Playing in strong winds, the Ladies European Tour’s leading rookie posted two birdies, two bogeys and an eagle at the par-five 11th hole for the second consecutive day.
“Conditions were much, much tougher out there today,” said Reid, who played in the morning before the howling winds increased in the afternoon. “I can’t say how tough it was but I enjoyed the challenge. You had to shape shots. I would have liked to have shot a couple lower but I would have taken it at the start of the day.”
Reid began her round with six straight pars and shot one birdie and one bogey on the front nine for an outward total of level par 36. She played the back nine in two-under-par after a birdie at the 10th, an eagle on the 11th and a bogey at the 13th.
“I’m always out there challenging myself and when things are tough like this, there is no greater challenge, you know you still have to win tournaments in conditions like this. You have to shape shots, you have to hit it low, high, fades, draws and that’s what I’ve been working on the winter months and earlier this season so I really enjoyed putting things together. Now I’m going to have a rest and hopefully I will be firing on all cylinders tomorrow,” she said.
Reid is aiming for her first victory since turning professional in December. Due to her position of eighth on the LET’s New Star Money List, she has already secured a spot in August’s Ricoh Women’s British Open, in which she tied for 16th last year as an amateur.
However a maiden pro victory would secure her place in the lucrative Evian Masters in France in three weeks’ time. She has a chance to become the fourth first time winner on the LET this year and could also become the first rookie winner on the LET since 2004 when Finland’s Minea Blomqvist won the OTP Bank Ladies Central European Open in Hungary.
Reid’s closest challenger for the title is 36-year-old Marina Arruti from San Sebastian in northern Spain, who had a 71 to sit on four-under 140. The last time that Arruti was in contention for a title was at the 1999 Austrian Open, which was her sole victory on the LET.
“The last time I was in the leading group was in Austria and I won there, so I have good memories,” said Arruti. “I’m really happy obviously with the way I’m playing and I’m going to try my best tomorrow and see if I can control my nerves.”
England’s Rebecca Hudson, who claimed the Tenerife Ladies Open a fortnight ago, finished the day in outright third position four shots off the lead on two-under-par after a 70.
Four-time LET winner Stephanie Arricau from France reached four-under-par and was tied for second with three holes to play, but dropped back into a share of fourth with four others after a bogey on 16 and a double at the tough par-five 17th.
Defending champion Becky Brewerton from Wales shot a three-under 69 and moved from tied 52nd into a share of fourth on one-under-par with Arricau, Japan’s Rui Yokomine and English duo Kiran Matharu and Lora Fairclough.
Overnight co-leader Joanne Mills from Australia had a four-over 76 to finish the day in a share of ninth with four players on level par: Australia’s Leah Hart, Denmark’s Lisa Holm Sorensen, Belgium’s Ellen Smets and Ireland’s Claire Coughlan-Ryan.
Crieff amateur Roseanne Niven was the only Scot who missed the cut in 151 or better. She had an 83 for 157.
Comrie amateur Carly Booth made it thorugh with a 77 for 147. She will catch a Sunday evening plane from London to Aberdeen to join the rest of the Scotland team for the European girls' team championship which starts at Murcar Links on Tuesday.
Jenna Wilson from Strathaven got through onthe same 147 mark as Carly with a second-round 73.
Julie Forbes (75), Kathryn Imrie (75) and Lynn Kenny (77) all survived on 148.
Inverness-based Kiwi Liz McKinnon slumped from 69 to 80 but made it through on 149.

Jamie-Leigh (14) wins English schoolgirls
championship at The Kendleshire

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION
Leicestershire 14-year-old Jamie-Leigh Voss won the English schoolgirls championship at the Kendleshire, Bristol – helped by a course record of five-under par 67.
She finished three shots clear of the runner-up, England girl international Holly Clyburn, from Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire. Holly, 17, is a member of the English Women’s Golf Association Futures U18 Squad.
Suffolk’s Heidi Baek (Felixstowe Ferry) was third and, like Holly, shot thee-under par in the second round. Heidi, 14, from EWGA’s Select Midlands Squad is the English U15 champion and has been selected for England’s team for the Girls’ International Matches.
Among the other players in the top ten were three more members of EWGA squads: Yorkshire’s Sophie Godley (Lindrick), 14, was sixth, one place ahead of English women’s champion and defending title-holder Hannah Barwood, 17, of Knowle, Gloucestershire. Warwickshire’s Elizabeth Mallett – who is the English U16 schools’ champion – was ninth. Elizabeth, 13, plays at Sutton Coldfield Ladies’ .
Jamie-Leigh, from Kirby Muxloe, took the title with scores of 74 and five-under 67, which shaved a shot off the old record. Her afternoon round included an eagle, four birdies and just one bogey - and she has reduced her handicap to plus-one.
Her father, Jamie, commented: “She is over the moon and she wants to say a big thank you to her coach, Steve Cooper of Gainsborough.”
Already this season, Jamie-Leigh has qualified for the match-play stages of the English championship and won the Leicestershire championship. She also helped her team reach the finals of the English county championship. Now, she will captain the girls’ teams in the annual schools’ internationals against Wales in August and Scotland in September.

Hannah (14) breaks another

course record with a 69 at

Grantown-on-Spey

Hannah McCook, the up-and-coming 14-year-old member of Abernethy Golf Club, has made another notable entry to her golfing CV.

Hannah has broken the Grantown on Spey women's course record by one stroke with a gross 69, against the par of 72 and the CSS of 71.

Her handicap is now 7.3.

Earlier this year, Hannah broke the women's record at her home Abernethy course.

Amy Taylor, just turned 15 years of age and winner of the Kirriemuir Golf Club women's championship.

Too shy Amy Taylor lets her clubs

do the talking at Kirriemuir GC

Two days after her 15th birthday, Amy Taylor, stunned the ladies section at Kirriemuir Golf Club by winning the women's club championship.

The lady members at the Angus club were unaware of just how much this talented young golfer had improved her game as, until several weeks ago, she has been too shy to put her name down for the ladies' medals.

However, her success was no surprise to the junior section of Kirriemuir Golf Club and PGA professional Karyn Dallas. Last year Amy was talked into going along, with the other juniors, to play in some junior opens and by the end of the season she had won the Angus girls' Order of Merit This year after some more persuading from junior convener Jimmy Murray, Amy began playing in the ladies' competitions.
Amy Taylor is pupil of the TG54.com coaching programme run by Karyn Dallas. This programme is producing talented players at all levels. Karyn identifies Amy as a great prospect, saying “Amy has already displayed a great talent for the game and with application and dedication there is no limit to how far this talent could take her.”

Karyn sees Amy as the first to emerge from a group of junior girls currently in the TG54.com programme and feels that within two years the Kirriemuir club's ladies championship will be dominated by juniors.

Professionals Jenna Wilson (Strathaven) and US-based Pamela Feggans from Patna, Ayrshire are both coached by Karyn. So too is Roseanne Niven (Crieff), the female amateur player of the moment in Scotland - she was the only British player to reach the semi-finals of the recent British women's open amateur championship at North Berwick, having toppled the winner of the American women's college championship, Azahara Munoz, in the quarter-finals.

Then Roseanne, 19, finished runner-up to Curtis Cup player Breanne Loucks in the Irish women's open amateur stroke-play championship at Elm Park GC, Dublin last weekend.

Did YOU know that in America amateurs
can win cash as a hole-in-one prize?

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
When the US Duramed Futures Tour announced that a Norwegian AMATEUR, Benedikte Grovtvedt, had won $500 for a hole in one at their weekend tournament, I thought it had to be a mistake. I amended the Futures Tour Press Release published on Kirkwoodgolf.co.uk to read that she had received a $500 voucher.
At the same time I sent off an E-mail to the organisers of the Futures Tour, pointing out their "mistake."
When the Futures Tour Newsletter on Monday repeated the statement that the Norwegian amateur had received $500 in cash for her hole in one, I fired off another E-mail across the Atlantic to the Futures Tour people, pointing out that in no circumstances can amateurs be given money as a prize.
Back came the following E-mail message:

"Colin, Under the USGA rules, she was eligible to receive cash prizes up to $750 for a hole in one. Our director of tournament operations, Christy Barks looked it up before declaring her a winner of the money."

So, hastily eating a large slice of humble pie, I had to admit that I was not aware that the Rules of Amateur Status as far as hole in one prizes are concerned are different in the States.
I apologised to the Futures Tour for showing my ignorance of that fact.

Reader Alasdair J Malcom has come up with another answer to my original question:

Colin,
Reference your poser regarding the accepting of prize money by amateurs.
I think I am right in saying that an amateur can compete in an event where there are cash prizes for professionals as long as the amateur nominates, prior to taking part, a charity to which any prize money gained by him will go, and complying with this would not affect the player's amateur status.
Regards
Alasdair J. Malcolm

Rules expert Gillian Kirkwood confirms this:
Yes. It's Decision 3-1/6.

US Women's Open winner Inbee Park will
be in Ricoh British Open field at Sunningdale

PRESS RELEASE
South Korean Inbee Park, who became the youngest ever winner of the US Women’s Open on Sunday, has confirmed she will be playing in the Ricoh Women’s British Open at Sunningdale Golf Club from July 31 to August 3.
The 19-year-old, in only her second year on the LPGA Tour, won by a comprehensive four- stroke margin over experienced campaigner Helen Alfredsson from Sweden. Although it was her first Tour win, Inbee had shown signs of being a big occasion Major performer. She finished fourth at the 2007 US Open and 11th at the 2007 Ricoh Women’s British Open.
Inbee was inspired to play golf by fellow South Korean Se Ri Pak, winner of the 2001 Women’s British Open, taking up golf just two days after her parents watched Se Ri become the youngest U.S. Women’s Open winner in 1998.
Inbee is looking forward to playing in the final Major of 2008 saying, “I’m excited to be playing the Ricoh Women’s British Open. It’s a major tournament and I really had a good experience at St. Andrew’s last year and hopefully I’ll have a good experience this year, too. Se Ri won the Championship when it was played at Sunningdale in 2001 so it would be very nice to be able to follow in her footsteps again!”
Steeped in history and the only Major to take place outside of the USA, the 2008 Ricoh Women’s British Open is set to be one of the highlights on this year’s golfing calendar, with 144 players from around the world competing for a total prize fund of Ł1,050,000 ($2,100,000).
With the race for qualification for the 2008 championship very much underway, there are number of players who can relax, having already secured their place in a line-up that is starting to resemble a who’s who of women’s golf.
Former champions at Sunningdale, Karrie Webb, Se Ri Pak and Karen Stupples, qualify as former winners of the event, as does World No 2, Annika Sorenstam who won the title in 2003. World Number 4, Paula Creamer, Japan’s Yuri Fudoh - the World Number 27 and Miki Saiki - the World Number 37, have also qualified with top 15 finishes at the 2007 championship.
So too have Scottish stars Catriona Matthew and Mhairi McKay, while the 2007 Amateur Medal Winner, England’s Melissa Reid, who has built on her magnificent performance finishing tied 16th at last year’s Championship, looks set to qualify through the LET money list on which she is currently ranked 8th.
The top five players on the 2008 Japanese LPGA money list at June 16 have also qualified. They are Akiko Fukushima, Sakura Yokomine, Ji-Hee Lee, Miho Koga, Eun-A Lim, Bo-Bae Song and Yukari Baba.
The Ricoh Women’s British Open is the most international of all the Majors. Millions tuned into the 2007 championship in August as it was televised around the world, including on the BBC in the UK, ABC network television in the USA and on TV Asahi in Japan.
Sunningdale Golf Club has a rich heritage of hosting professional and amateur events, including the Women’s British Open on three occasions, 1997, 2001 and 2004, as well as the European Open, the inaugural Seve Trophy and the Walker Cup.
The Ricoh Women’s British Open was founded by the Ladies’ Golf Union in 1976, has been co-sanctioned by the LPGA and LET since 1994 and gained Major status in 2001. The event is managed and implemented in conjunction with IMG, the world’s largest sports marketing company.

Defending champion Becky Brewerton puts

her short iron swing changes to the test

FROM THE LADIES' EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
By BETHAN CUTLER
Becky Brewerton is hoping that her recent swing changes will pay off as she defends the Ladies English Open at The Oxfordshire Golf Club this week, starting on Friday.
Brewerton, who won her maiden title by three shots at Chart Hills GC in Kent last year, implemented the changes ahead of this year’s LET season in an attempt to improve her short iron play.
The Solheim Cup player made the decision to take action after playing in the Kraft Nabsico Championship in the United States in early April.
“The one part of my game that has always let me down is my short irons and wedges. Distance control is sometimes horrendous and it’s because of a small fault in my swing,” said Brewerton, who made her debut in The Solheim Cup last year.
“It’s easier on the long irons because they’re a little bit flatter so you can get away with it. “I definitely wanted to do it because it was getting to the stage at the end of last year and the start of this year where it didn’t feel like I was improving and I’d kind of got stuck at a level.
“It’s not something that is obvious but for the standard that I feel I am at with other parts of my game… I feel I can stand on a tee and hit a drive and a four-iron and knock it to ten foot but if I’ve got a wedge in my hand at times I’m struggling to hit the green. That is just silly because no-one should ever be like that.”
Brewerton added that she was able to play well on longer courses, such as at Halmstad Golfklubb for The Solheim Cup, but not on shorter ones, which showed up the weakness. In preparation for her title defence she will be taking a lesson from her coach Simon Coaker, the director of golf at Desert Springs GC in Almeira, Spain.
She is hoping that it will help to kick-start her season. She missed the cut in her first event of the year at the Spanish Open, but has since posted three top-tens with a best finish of tied seventh at the HypoVereinsbank Ladies German Open in Munich.
“I played terrible at the Spanish and missed the cut but I understood that because I was going through a swing change. At that tournament I really wasn’t expecting to do anything. I probably shouldn’t have played and had another week to work on it. It’s been a difficult start to the year but slowly but surely I am starting to get it a little bit,” she said.
“At the moment because I’ve struggled a lot I am really short on confidence. I feel within myself on the course and I’m struggling to think under par. I’m always seeing bad scores but it’s got to change at some point and hopefully it will be soon at the British or the English. That would be perfect.
“Although last year was great, I won a tournament and played in The Solheim, I just felt that I needed to improve so that’s been quite difficult to incorporate while playing but I’m glad now that I’ve got a week off. Hopefully I can manage to get it a little bit better.”
Brewerton has not played at The Oxfordshire golf course before, but she has visited the website and likes the look of the golf course.
“It will be nice because defending a tournament title makes you feel a little bit different. It will be nice standing on the tee and thinking, “This is mine to keep hold of,” she said.
The last time the LET visited The Oxfordshire was in 1996, when England’s Laura Davies won the Wilkinson Sword Ladies’ English Open, which she also won in 1995 at the same venue. Davies will be absent from this year’s tournament, but there are 32 English players hoping to claim their national title. They include the recent Tenerife Ladies Open champion Rebecca Hudson, ANZ Ladies Masters champion Lisa Hall and the LET’s leading rookie Melissa Reid, as well as the 2005 Wales Ladies Champion Kirsty Taylor who is making a come-back after brain surgery at the beginning of the year.
The tournament also features Sweden’s Emma Zackrisson who won the Spanish Open in April.
AMATEUR NOTE:
Eight amateurs have accepted LET invitations to play:
Carly Booth (Comrie)
Roseanne Niven (Crieff)
Jenny Pease (England)
Hannah Burke (England)
Samantha Round (England)
Tracey Boyes (England)
Claire Aitken (England).
Lucy Gould (Bargoed)

CLARE QUEEN WITHDRAWS
Clare Queen (The Carrick at Cameron House) has withdrawn from the tournament, but there will still be six Scots in action - Lynn Kenny, Kathryn Imrie, Jenna Wilson, Julie Forbes (making her first appearance on the LET for some time, and the two amateurs, Carly Booth and Roseanne Niven.
Carly Booth is booked on a London to Aberdeen Sunday evening flight so that she can join up with the rest of the Scotland squad taking part in the European girls' team championship at Murcar Links. That tournament starts next Tuesday.

Can an amateur ever accept a cash prize?

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Here's a question to include in your next Club Rules of Golf Quiz:
"Can there ever be a situation where an amateur golfer may accept a cash prize in a tournament?"
Think about it. Like me, your instinctive answer is likely to be: "Certainly not!"
But, as I discovered, much to my embarrassment within the past 24 hours, the answer is "Yes" ... under certain circumstances.
If you know when and where these 'certain circumstances' apply, E-mail your answer to Colin@scottishgolfview.com
Otherwise, I will give you the definitive answer on Wednesday morning.

Gleneagles experience for Gullane juniors

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY ROB EYTON-JONES OF clubgolf
Twelve budding young golfers from Gullane Golf Club in East Lothian enjoyed a day at Gleneagles on Sunday.
Their visit was a direct result of Gleneagles and Scotland’s national junior golf programme, clubgolf, joining forces again to promote junior golf in Scotland this summer by offering participating clubs an opportunity to play on its Wee Course every Sunday between 15 June and 12 October.
Launched at Gleneagles in 2003 clubgolf is a partnership between the Scottish Golf Union, Scottish Ladies Golfing Association, Professional Golfers Association, the Golf Foundation and sportscotland. It aims to create the opportunity for every child to experience golf by age nine and increase junior participation in golf in Scotland.
“This was the first time our children have been to Gleneagles and they all thought it was a great experience,” said Iain McLean, qualified volunteer coach at Gullane who accompanied the eight boys and four girls, aged between 11 and 14.
“They used the practice facilities for an hour, hit balls on the range and used the short game area before doing some putting practice. Then they played 9 holes on the Wee Course.
“We’ve taken the children to Craigielaw, Dalmahoy and Muirfield before. It’s great to take them away to a different course which has different challenges and it’s good fun for them to go to somewhere new in a group.”
Thirteen year old Andrew O’Riordan, who has been on Gullane’s clubgolf programme for the past three years and has progressed to Stage 3 coaching with Pro, Alasdair Good, found the Gleneagles experience a great motivator.
“It was really good fun,” said Andrew, who is hoping to get his first handicap this year. “It was quite a challenging Par 3 course and some of the holes were quite hard. Sometimes you had to hit the ball around trees.
“I’ve never been to Gleneagles before and it was great to play on a famous course.”
Patrick Elsmie, Gleneagles’ Managing Director, said, “Gleneagles has always been committed to golf and we are thrilled to be a part of the clubgolf initiative. We hope to be able to help them in achieving their goal of allowing every child in Scotland to experience the game by the age of nine. “As the venue to the Ryder Cup in 2014 it is important that Gleneagles continues to work closely with organisations like clubgolf to ensure that the game of golf in Scotland and our young people reap the benefits of playing host to such a prestigious tournament”.

First of five qualifiers for Grand Final at Gleneagles

Dunfermline Building Society Junior
Masters regional final at Banff


PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY SCOTTISH GOLF UNION
The 2008 Dunfermline Building Society Junior Masters, Scotland’s biggest participation junior golf event, gets underway this week with the first of five regional finals this summer taking place on Thursday.
Seventy eight juniors from the North of Scotland will tee up at Duff House Royal, hoping to secure one of the spots in the prestigious grand final, which takes place on the Queen’s Course, Gleneagles, in October.
Qualifying competitions have been taking place up and down the country over the last three months, with the leading two boys and girls from each club making their way through to the regional finals.
Following this week’s event in the North-east, the Junior Masters regional finals moves to Torwoodlee in the Borders, Dunblane New, Gourock and finally Ratho Park in Edinburgh. Youngsters from around 180 clubs will be participating in the five events, with the leading 80 players heading for Gleneagles, home of the 2014 Ryder Cup.
Among the juniors taking part at Duff House Royal, 15 competitors are girls, reflecting the growing popularity of golf in the North of Scotland, boosted by clubgolf’s ‘Girls in Golf’ programme.
Graeme Dalziel, Chief Executive of sponsors Dunfermline Building Society who have invested more than Ł100,000 in junior golf over the last two years, is looking forward to building on the achievements of last year’s Junior Masters, their first year of partnership with the SGU:
“The 2007 Dunfermline Building Society Junior Masters was a huge success for us as sponsors, with youngsters from communities all over Scotland taking part and enjoying a great day of golf. It is extremely rewarding to put something back into a game which gives the country so much benefit.”
“Our partnership reflects our commitment to young people and to grass roots sport. Hopefully some of the youngsters taking part this summer will go on to success at the highest level, but more importantly we want to give children the opportunity to get involved in golf.” added Dalziel.
The winner of last year’s Junior Masters boys section was Lewis Reid, from Fortrose & Rosemarkie who topped the Gleneagles leaderboard with a superb total of 40 stableford points, and those teeing off at Duff House Royal will be aiming to follow in Lewis’s footsteps.
Hamish Grey, Chief Executive of the Scottish Golf Union, said:
“The Junior Masters is a hugely important event for the SGU, giving young players of all abilities the chance to play in a national championship. We are grateful to Dunfermline Building Society for enhancing a great event and wish all of our junior members the best of luck this year.”

Tour Pro’s Return to Kirriemuir for Junior Exhibition

Tour professionals Jenna Wilson and Pamela Feggans played an exhibition match for the junior golfers at Kirriemuir Golf Club today. Former Scottish women's amateur champion Wilson from Strathaven now plays on the Ladies European Tour. Feggans plays her golf on the US Futures Tour. They are both coached at Kirriemuir by Karyn Dallas the Angus club's professional.
Dallas says, “It is rare to get both girls together at this time of year and when I realised it coincided with the children’s summer holidays I thought this was an ideal opportunity for them to see what can be achieved. The children are all part of Karyn’s Tg54.com coaching program, the same program used by both Pro’s to develop their games.

Jenna Wilson took the 200 mile detour on her way to The Oxfordshire where she will be competing in the Ladies English Open later this week was delighted to help out saying, “What Karyn has achieved here is unbelievable and I am only to happy to do this for her, the standard of the children here is mind blowing I can’t believe the Ladies championship was won at the weekend by a junior who just turned 15 two days ago!

Jenna will be joined at the English Open by Roseanne Niven, another player on the program who is having a wonderful season finishing second in last weekend's Irish women's open amateur stroke-play championship at Elm Park GC, Dublin and a semi finalist - the only British one - in the previous week's British women's open amateur championship at North Berwick.

Pamela Feggans has taken two weeks out of her tour schedule to visit her parents in Patna, Ayrshire and to spend a week at Kirriemuir with Karyn to work on her game. Pamela’s coaching is normally done via the Internet but she felt it would be better to have a more hands on coaching at this time. Of today’s game Pamela says’ “It was a good laugh and the kids seemed to enjoy it, I must admit it was quite nerve racking to look up from the tee and see all these small faces staring at you, but it was nice.

Dallas continues to build her coaching program at Kirriemuir Golf Club where she is delighted at the progress of the players at all levels. She says, “If someone had told me six years ago when this all started that we would have tour players and national champions I would not have believed them, but it has happened and when I look around at the talent coming through I am so excited at the thought that this really is just the beginning!!

Fiona sets Braehead record with a 70

Fiona De Vries set a new ladies' course record of 70 at Braehead Golf Club today. She was playing in the Midlands Vets' summer meeting.

Hope to be able to give you more details of Fiona's great round later.

Sally out to beat Tiger in race

to return from knee operation

Curtis Cup teenager Sally Watson has set herself a goal of playing - if selected, of course - for Scotland in the women's home internationals at Wrexham from September 10 to 12, followed by the Espirito Santo women's world amateur team championship in Australia from October 22 to 25.
In the normal course of events, Sally, picture right by Tom Ward (all rights reserved), who has her 17th birthday on July 10, would be an automatic selection for these tournaments, given that she played well for Great Britain & Ireland in the Curtis Cup match against the United States over the Old Course, St Andrews, at the end of May.
The problem is that Sally, like Tiger Woods, had a major knee operation on her right ACL (Anterior cruciate ligament) on the Wednesday after the Curtis Cup match was over.
The surgeon was Gordon MacKay, former Rangers footballer who does most of the knee operationss on our top athletes. The physiotherapist is Stewart Barton, physio to Scotland rugby team and the British Lions.
"So thanks to the Scottish Institute of Sport, she is getting world class treatment," said her dad, Edinburgh businessman Graham Watson.
"The right ACL was torn in 2003 playing basketball. She was too young to operate on then. She had an op on her right knee to tidy up her cartilage seven weeks before the Curtis Cup, so she did incredibly well - with the help of her medical team - to be ready to play at St Andrews.
"So basically Sally's story mirrors Tiger's, except hers is the right knee, which is probably the easier one for a right-handed golfer.

"Rehab so far is going very well and Sally expects to return to golf stronger and fitter than ever. "She is back putting and her goal is to be ready to play for Scotland in the women's home internationals and world team championships - if selected."
Sally is still a resident student at the David Leadbetter Golf Academy at Bradenton, Florida and she will return there in August to continue her studies and daily training/practice to become an even better golfer.

Anne Walker becomes head coach

of University of California-Davis

Anne Walker, 28, from Strathaven takes up her duties this week tomorrow as the new head women's golf coach at the University of California Davis (UCD) near Sacramento.
She had been first a player, then assistant coach and latterly associate head coach of the women's golf team at University of California-Berkeley over the past 10 years.
The UCD post became available when Kathy De Young announced her retirement.
"We will miss her greatly," said Nancy McDaniel, the UCB head coach. "Anne has been instrumental in the rise of California-Berkeley women's golf on the national scene over the last decade. From the moment she arrived on campus as a student-athlete in 1998, our programme has consistently been a national contender."
Anne won twice on the American women's college golf circuit as a player. She stayed on as a golf team staff member at the University of California-Berkeley after gaining a degree with honours in geography in May 2002.
Anne becomes the second Scottish-born head women's golf coach on the US college scene.
Colette Murray from Dumfries is in charge at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.
Both Anne and Colette were spectators at the recent British women's open amateur championship at North Berwick.
Anne Walker was beaten by Vikki Laing in the final of the Scottish girls' championship in 1997 and went to California-Berkeley the following January. She was instrumental in Vikki following her to the same university.

Anne played for the Scotland Under-18 girls team from 1996 to 1998 and for Scotland in the European Under-21 team championships of 1997. She also won the Welsh women's open amateur stroke-play title in 1999.

She was responsible for recruiting Roseanne Niven (Crieff), the 2006 Scottish girls match-play champion, to the University of California-Berkeley.

Whether or not Anne will have a budget that allows her to continue to look for emerging golf talent from Scotland - and elsewhere overseas - to add to her new team at California-Davis, remains to be seen.

"I am thrilled to be given this opportunity. Kathy (De Young) has built a strong foundation for a golf programme to be successful and I am looking forward to continuing her efforts," said Anne.

"I was part of building a succesful programme at California-Berkeley. I hope for similar success at California-Davis. I'd like to build a programme around character. I want to built a programme that is recognised both on campus an in the community."

South Korean Inbee Park becomes
youngest US Women's Open winner

Two weeks short of her 20th birthday, Inbee Park became the youngest winner of the United States Women's Open on Sunday by closing with a two-under 71 as everyone around her faded away at Interlachen Country Club, Edina in Minnesota.
Park didn't make a bogey over the final 10 holes, pulling away with three clutch putts early on the back nine and building a four-shot lead going to the final hole. She finished with a tap-in birdie, and a few of her fellow South Koreans doused her with beer.
The victory came 10 years after Park took up the game, inspired by watching Se Ri Pak win the US Women's Open at Blackwolf Run to become the youngest champion at age 20.
“It's really an honour and very special for me that I won the event 10 years after I started playing,” Park said. “Everything happened so fast. It's scary. I really tried to stay calm, but it was so exciting, I couldn't do it. This is my day.”
Park finished at nine-under 283 and earned $585,000 from the richest purse in women's golf. Her four-shot victory over Sweden's Helen Alfredsson who shot 75, was the biggest margin in the championship since Karrie Webb won by eight shots at Pine Needles in 2001.
No one imagined the only drama on the back nine would come from Annika Sorenstam, who was never in contention competing in her final Women's Open before retirement at the end of the season.
Her final shot was a 6-iron from 199 yards that tumbled into the cup for eagle.
“Leaving with another great memory, that's for sure,” Sorenstam said after closing with a 78 to finish 12 shots behind in a tie for 24th. “Maybe not the one I had in mind, but I'll take it.”
Such highlights were rare for everyone else.
Stacy Lewis, a US Curtis Cup team player at St Andrews only a few weeks ago and trying to become the first player to win a major in her professional debut, led the field into the final round but took double bogey from 80 yards away on the par-5 second hole and struggled all afternoon with her putting.
She staggered home with a 79 and tied for third at 4-under 288 with Angela Park (73) and In-Kyung Kim (75).

Vicky Hurst Earns Third

Futures Tour Victory

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE US DURAMED FUTURES TOUR
HAMMOND, Indiana. Rookie Vicky Hurst of Melbourne, Florida, overcame a two-stroke deficit and caught fire on a chilly afternoon in the final round to record a five-under-par 67 and claim her third win of the season at the Horseshoe Casino Classic at Lost Marsh Golf Course.

Hurst, pictured right, finished the weekend at 213 (-3), one stroke ahead of 2005 Duramed Futures Tour winner Jin Young Pak (70) of Kang Leung, South Korea, who posted a three-day total of 214 (-2).
It was a blessing in disguise for the 18-year-old Hurst, who very easily could have been part of the field for the 63rd U.S. Women's Open Championship in Edina, Minn. Hurst was an alternate at the Open, but didn't get in. Instead, she seized the chance to play at Hammond and moved into the top spot of the money list with season earnings of $51,701. After turning in her scorecard, the teen indulged in a celebratory Diet Pepsi with a cream puff.
Along with 23 other players on Sunday, Hurst completed her second round this morning after darkness suspended play on Saturday. Despite having to play 22 holes today, Hurst came out of the gates with a birdie in four holes to complete her second-round score and get early momentum on her side.
"I came out playing really well this morning, trying to stay in the moment and attacking pins to try to get birdies," Hurst said.
She mounted another comeback like her last victory at the Tour's major championship in Decatur, Illinois, coming back from four strokes down in the final round.
Hurst took the lead in the final round for the first time after an eagle on No. 12, rolling home a 40ft putt to move to four-under par on the day. She sealed the win with a birdie on the 16th, draining a 15ft putt.
"I really just tried to two-putt on 12, but it kept rolling and went in the cup," Hurst said. "That's when the momentum got going."
With three wins in just seven attempts, Hurst improved by nine shots from her second-round score of 4-over-par 76 to card the tournament's lowest score by two shots. Earlier this season, she claimed Tour victories at the Jalapeno Duramed Futures Classic in McAllen, Texas, and at the Michelob Ultra Duramed Futures Players Championship.
"I'm really surprised I'm doing this well," Hurst said. "The whole season, I've been thinking, 'Get in the top five or the top 10,' but I'm feeling more comfortable out here."
Even as one of the Tour's longer-hitting players, Hurst said it was a struggle to reach the greens in two on par-5s, playing into gusting winds reaching 35 mph.
"It's really hard when the wind affects everyone so much, because it turns into a mind game," Hurst said. "I just had to limit my mistakes and bogeys and never give up."
She added with a soft laugh, "I really need to work on my "wind putting."
Hurst's birdie putt on her final hole was just inches short of dropping into the cup. She wasn't about to relax with Pak, a former tournament winner, strolling up the 18th green -- about nine feet away from forcing a play-off.
Pak had a chance to tie and force a play-off with a birdie putt on the 18th green, but the former LPGA Tour member's putt stopped just left of the hole.
"I think I played pretty well, but Vicky is a special player," Pak said. "I think this will help me on the money list."
"Koko," Hurst's caddie and mother, shied away from taking credit for her daughter's victory. They embraced on the 18th green and posed for pictures together at the awards ceremony.
"It has been my pleasure to spend time with her," Koko said. "I feel extremely blessed and I feel like I should thank her because not every parent has this chance with their kid."
The Duramed Futures Tour is idle this week before beginning its Eastern Swing, starting with the CIGNA Golf Classic in Bloomfield, Connecticutt, on July 11-13.

17th Hole Surrenders Third Ace
Amateur Benedikte Grotvedt of Nesbru, Norway, drained a hole-in-one -- the Tour's third in two days -- on the 130-yard, 17th hole. Her single shot would have earned her $500 had she been a professional as part of Duramed's Hole-in-One Challenge. Grotvedt's ace brings the Duramed FUTURES Tour's season total up to nine.
Grotvedt played the shot as if it were 119 yards out. She pulled out a pitching wedge and played the wind right-to-left. A spectator saw the shot bounce twice and land in the cup.
"A hole-in-one is really difficult, but three on the same hole is pretty impressive," Grotvedt said. "There were a lot of good shots because that green is not easy."
Her previous career ace came in a Suncoast Series Tour event in 2007. Up next for the Norwegian is a three-week stay in her homeland in an attempt to qualify for the RICOH Women's British Open.
The 17th hole also surrendered a pair of aces to Haeji Kang of Seoul, South Korea, and Anastasia Kostina of Nakhabino, Russia, in Saturday's second round.
Jin Young Pak Becomes 10th Recipient of Duramed's Sunday Low Round Award
Jin Young Pak of Kang Leung, South Korea, fired a 2-under-par 70 to claim a new Apple 8 GB iPod Touch to continue Duramed's season-long promotion of the Sunday Low Round Award. Pak was in the leading group that teed off at 10:50 a.m. and carded five birdies throughout her round to claim the prize.
Vicky Hurst carded a 5-under-par 67, but the three-time Tour winner had already received the award in McAllen, Texas, at the Jalapeno Duramed FUTURES Golf Classic.

Sunday tournament weather: Mostly sunny with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to low-80s. Partly cloudy with winds gusting at 15-35 mph with intermittent rainfall in the afternoon.

North Division title at stake in Downfield finale

ANGUS v PERTH & KINROSS FOR
PLACE IN SCOTTISH FINALS

Host county Angus will meet Perthshire & Kinross at Downfield Golf Club, Dundee on Monday with the North Division women’s inter-county team golf championship at stake.
A halved match would be enough to put P&K, conquerors so far of Northern Counties and then Aberdeenshire, through to the Scottish county finals at Inchmarlo Golf Resort, Banchory from September 19 to 21.
Angus, who have beaten Aberdeenshire and drawn with Northern Counties, must beat P&K to top the table.
Defending champions Aberdeenshire have underachieved compared with last season when they not only won the North Division title but only lost the Scottish title to Midlothian on a games-won countback.
Perthshire & Kinross beat Shire 5-4 today when 16-year-old Carly Booth from Comrie beat Scottish champion Michele Thomson (McDonald Ellon) in a battle between Curtis Cup team-mates from the recent St Andrews match.
Carly won by 3 and 2.
In the morning foursomes Carly and Emily Ogilvy (Auchterarder) had halved with Michele and Alford’s Laura Murray.
There was nothing to choose between Angus and Northern Counties. They split the foursomes 1 ˝-1 ˝ and then the singles 3-3 for a 4 ˝-4 ˝ draw today.
Rebecca Wilson (Monifieth), who had a square match with Michele Thomson on Saturday, again played well for Angus in the lead-off singles tie. She beat the experienced Cara Gruber (Royal Dornoch) 3 and 2.

Roseanne Niven finishes runner

-up in Irish open stroke-play

FROM COLIN FARQUHARSON
Perthshire teenager Roseanne Niven was the only British player to make the semi-finals of the recent British women's open amateur golf championship at North Berwick.
Now the 19-year-old member at Crieff Golf Club and a student at the University of California-Berkeley has finished runner-up to Welsh Curtis Cup player Breanne Loucks in the Irish women's open amateur stroke-play championship which finished at Elm Park Golf Club, Dublin today.
Which is a trifle embarrassing for the Scotland selectors, who, in fairness, made their choice some time BEFORE the "British" championship and named Roseanne as first RESERVE for the squad of six to play in the European women's team championship in Sweden from July 8 to 12.
"I am a better all-round player than I was before I went to college in America," said Roseanne (picture above by Cal Carson Golf Agency (all rights reserved), who won the Scottish Under-18 girls' match-play championship at Peebles in 2006.
"I have a short-game coach in California and Karyn Dallas at Kirriemuir is my coach when I am at home.
Niven, picture above by Cal Carson Golf Agency (all rights reserved), whose family home is at Tibbermore near Perth, finished in grand style in Ireland with birdies at the 16th and 18th to come thundering up through the field with a final round of three-under-par 70 - three better than title-winner Breanne Loucks, also 19, from Wrexham.
Loucks totalled five-under-par 214, having shot earlier rounds of 69 and 72 to have a clear lead on Saturday night.
Roseanne scored 73 and 74 in the first and second rounds.
The next best Scots on the final leaderboard were Louise Kenney (Pitreavie), joint 14th on 227 and Glasgow University student Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle), tied 18th on 229.
The remarkable Maguire 13-year-old twins - Lisa and Leona - continue to impress. Leona beat Lisa in the final of the Irish WOMEN'S amateur match-play championship two or three weeks ago. At Elm Park it was Lisa's turn to finish ahead of her sibling, sharing third place with England's Charlotte Wild, whose 69 was the best of the final day, on 219. Leona came joint fifth.
They are being tipped already for a place in the GB&I team in the Curtis Cup match in the States in 2010.
North-east of Scotland golf enthusiasts will get a chance to watch the Maguire girls in action for Ireland in the European girls' team championship at Murcar Links the week after next.
Scotland (459) came a disappointing sixth of eight in the international team event won by Wales (439) from Ireland (440) and England (444).
Roseanne Niven, whose family home is at Tibbermore near Perth, was not a member of the Scotland team.
Her 16 year old sister Annabel is playing for Perthshire & Kinross in the three-day North Division women's inter-county team championship at Downfield. Annabel will also be Scotland's representative in the forthcoming R&A Junior Open for Under-16s at Hesketh Golf Club, Lancashire a few days before the Open championship at Royal Birkdale.
Roseanne has accepted an invitation - alongwith Curtis Cup player Carly Booth (Comrie) - from the Ladies European Tour to play in the Ladies English Women's Open at The Oxfordshire Golf Club this coming weekend.

US Curtis Cup star Stacy Lewis

leads US Women's Open field

Stacy Lewis was starring for the United States Curtis Cup team at St Andrews only a few weeks ago.

Now, in her debut as a professional, she is leading the US Women's Open with one round to go.

Lewis, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency (all rights reserved), has shot ever-improving rounds of 73, 70 and 67 for 210 over the par-73, 6789yd lay-out at Interlachen Country Club, Edina in Minnesota.

She leads by one shot from Paula Creamer.

Swedish veteran Helen Alfredsson leads the European challenge in joint third place, two shots behind Stacy Lewis.

Annika Sorenstam, in her final US Women's Open before she retires at the end of the season, is lying joint 13th on 217.

LPGA No 1 Lorena Ochoa is back in joint 43rd place on 223.

Catriona Matthew from North Berwick picked up again with a third-round 73 to be sharing 24th place with Morgan Pressel and Irish-born US Curtis Cup amateur Alison Walshe.

Janice Moodie had a bad day with an 80 for 229 and joint 71st place.

Vikki Laing misses cut by one shot

LATER NEWS: After all the second rounds were completed on Sunday morning, the cut fell at 154, only those with that total of better made it through to the third and final round later today.
That meant Vikki Laing from Musselburgh missed out by one shot with scores of 73 and 82 for 155.
She started her second round at the 10th hole and had double bogeys at the long 12th and par-4 18th in 41 for her first nine. Then she had the same score for her second nine (the outward half on the course). The so-costly bogeys for the Scot came at the eighth and the ninth. Had she parred either or even both, Vikki would have made the cut.
Three players share the lead on 144 - Sarah-Jane Kenyon 71-73, Jin Young Pak 71-73, Son Y Choi 72-72, one shot ahead of yet another South Korean, Haeji Kang 76-69 for 145.
Brenda McLarnon from Belfast made it through with three shots to spare on 151 (74-77) for joint 26th place.

Gale-force wind disrupts Futures Tour
second day in Indiana

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY DURAMED FUTURES TOUR
HAMMOND, Indiana., June 28, 2008 - Sarah-Jane Kenyon of Queensland, Australia, finished 16 holes at even par to take the lead before darkness suspended second-round play of the Horseshoe Casino Classic at Lost Marsh Golf Course on Saturday. Kenyon leads the field at one-under par through 34 holes. Song Yi Choi of Seoul, South Korea, completed her round at even-par 72 to move into second.
First-day leaders Lisa Ferrero of Lodi, Calif., and Taya Battistella of Portland, Ore., made it through 13 holes, playing at 4-over par and in a tie for third.
Kenyon is the only player in the field currently with an under-par score. The non-exempt LPGA Tour player started her day in 10th place, but overcame back-to-back bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes with birdies on her first and 12th holes.
"It was pretty tough out there with a lot of tricky shots," said Kenyon, whose last Duramed FUTURES Tour win came in 2005. "I have a great caddie and it worked out really well."
Following a 27-minute delay in Friday's first round, players once again faced winds on Saturday in excess of 30 mph during the morning tee times.
Airhorns sounded at 4:46 p.m. as skies darkened over the horizon and winds picked up to precede the Tour's seventh weather delay of the season. As players were shuttled off the course, 60 mph winds were recorded, followed by small amounts of hail. Play resumed at 6:18 p.m.
Strong winds picked up again and temperatures dipped down into the low 70s. Darkness suspended the remainder of the second round at 8:23 p.m.
Second-round play will continue 7 a.m. Sunday morning. Following the 36-hole cut, final-round play will start off the first and 10th tees with a projected starting time around 9 a.m.

Tournament Weather Forecast for Sunday: Mostly sunny throughout the morning with temperatures reaching 80 degrees and winds blowing 20-25 mph. Isolated thunderstorms developing in the afternoon, some possibly severe, with winds up to 60 mph and potential hail.
