Scotland's Jess Meek, Rachael Watton and Renfrewshire's Eilidh Briggs failed to make it to the last 16 of the British women's open amateur golf championship at Machynys Golf Club, near Llanelli, South Wales today.
Eilidh (Kilmacolm) scored a very good two-hole win in round 1 over Emily Pedersen, a Danish player whose this season has won the Spanish women's open amateur title and, more recently, the German girls' open championship.
Because some ties went into extra holes, Eilidh had to hang around for ages, waiting for her next tie to start. Eventually Emma Carberry (Highwoods) won her match at the 19th but the Briggs-Carberry second-round match for a place in the last 16 did not set out - albeit in glorious sunshine - until after 5pm.
The East Sussex player beat the Scot by two holes after the match was all square on the 13th tee.
WELL DONE EILIDH IN WHAT WE BELIEVE WAS HORRENDOUS CONDITIONS - WIND AND RAIN.
