Scottish Senior Women’s Open Match Play-update

Midland has 5 players in the top 16 gross qualifiers for the matchplay stages of the Scottish Senior Women’s Match Play Championship.  Carnoustie Caledonia’s Frances Millar shot a very impressive two over par 76 in the second round to come out on top in qualifying at Blairgowrie. Millar’s round, the lowest of the tournament, saw four birdies at the second, fifth, 10th and 11th to make her top qualifier into the matchplay stages

First round leader Wendy Nicholson (Baberton) struggled on what was a drier day at Blairgowrie and had two double bogeys on her card, finishing on 83 and tied for third. 

Senior Women’s Amateur Tain’s Mary Smith and The St Rule Club’s Fiona De Vries joined Millar with the only scores sub 80 on the day. 
 
The top 16 gross and top 16 nett players will move onto the matchplay stages today.
