CLARE QUEEN'S GOOD START
TO ANZ LADIES MASTERS
IN QUEENSLAND

Drumpellier's Clare Queen has made a very good start to the ANZ Ladies Masters at Royal Pines Resort, Gold Coast, Queensland in Australia.
Clare, who was beaten in a play-off in the pre-tournament qualifier for the recent Australian Women's Open, found her form here with a three-under-par round of 69 to be joint 14th behind leader Sun Ju Ahn (Korea).
Miss Queen had birdies at the long third, the seventh and ninth and the long 15th. She dropped only one shot, at the par-3 11th in halves of 34 and 35.
Best British player on the opening day was Becky Brewerton from Wales with a 66 to share second place with Sweden's Cecilia Ekelundh.
On 69 alongside Clare Queen are Lora Fairclough and Laura Davies.
Australian Women's Open winner Karrie Webb had a 71, one shot ahead of Inverness-based Kiwi Liz McKinnon who recovered from a double-bogey 6 at the second to birdie the sixth and 15th in halves of 38 and 34.
