But she could face an intriguing encounter against defending champion Lauren Whyte. The St Regulus youngster made it through to the quarter-finals with a 19th hole win over the reigning Scottish Junior Open Strokeplay Champion, Nicola Callander (Mill Green).
Atkins, a golf scholarship student at Loretto School in Musselburgh, defeated Dalgetty, who had led the strokeplay qualifying, by 4 and 3 to set up a quarter-final against Dunblane New’s Nicola Robertson.
Robertson caused a major chock by knocking out North Berwick’s Clara Young, a finalist at the Scottish Ladies’ Championship at Longniddry in May, by a convincing 5 and 4 margin.
In the other last eight match in the top half, Whyte will take on Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies), a 5 and 3 winner over Bothwell Castle’s Eva O’Connor and Renfrewshire's Alex Qayum by 1 hole in the 1st round
In the bottom half, Heather Munro (Monifieth) will face Borderer Danielle Ker (The Roxburghe) and Eilidh Watson (Muckhart) will tackle Tara MacTaggart (Minto).
Mactaggart, the No. 2 seed, eased through to the last eight with a 3 and 2 victory over Kirsten Brown (Strathaven).
