UNITED STATES OPEN GIRLS CHAMPIONSHIP
SALLY WATSON LOSES ON LAST GREEN
AFTER REACHING LAST 16 IN U S A
Sally Watson from South Queensferry lost narrowly in the third round of the United States girls' open golf championship in hot and humid conditions at Carmel Country Club near Charlotte in North Carolina.
Sally, only recently turned 15, played in this tournament instead of defending the Scottish girls' championship at Peebles this week.
She had won her storm-interrupted second round tie after an early-morning resumption on Thursday.
Miss Watson beat Kimberly Donovan from Hopkinton, Mass, a member of the winning United States team in the last Junior Solheim Cup, by one hole.That put Sally into the last 16 in which she played another 15-year-old, Michelle Shin from Cape Coral, Florida.
It was another very close match which went all the way but this time Miss Watson went down by one hole.
Sally and Carly Booth (Comrie) are Scotland's girl representatives in the European Young Masters for under-16s in Austria at the end of next week. The selection of the European team to play the United States in the Junior Ryder Cup in the autumn will be based on performances in that tournament.
