RACHEL DROPS DOWN TO SHARE
10TH PLACE IN THE “SALLY”
Oldham’s England girls international player Rachel Connor, the leading British player overnight in the 81st South Atlantic Ladies amateur golf tournament at Oceanside Country Club, Ormond Beach, Florida, dropped down to a share of 10th place at the halfway stage of the 72-hole stroke-play tournament.
Rachel, 17-year-old daughter of Brian Connor, the Scottish-born Manchester Golf Club professional, has had rounds of 75 and 82 for 157 in this the second event – known as the “Sally” – of the annual Orange Blossom Tour in Florida.
She is eight shots behind leader Tiffany Chud from Miramir Florida. Tiffany is on five-over-par 149 after rounds of 75 and 74 and leads by one shot from fellow Americans Kelly Calkin, Kathy Hartwiger and Natalie Sheary.
HOLDER TAKES CLOSER ORDER
US Curtis Cup player Virginia Grimes, defending champion and a two-time winner of the title, has taken closer order. She has moved up to fifth place on 151 with 77 and 74.
Sarah Carty from Dublin is in joint 20th place with scores of 78 and 84 for 162.
Emma Tipping from Sandiway, Cheshire is leading the Stirling University contingent in equal 25th place with 80 and 83 for 163.
Next come Claire-Marie Carlton (Fereneze) in joint 42nd place on 171 with 82 and 89, followed by Dawn Dewar (Monifieth) in joint 4th place on 172 (88-84) and Dublin’;s Rachel Cassidy in tied 50th place with 85 and 88 for 173.
