SWITZERLAND

Aboyne Golf Club's Shannon McWilliam finished a disappointing joint 57th in the European women's individual amateur championship at Lausanne Golf Club, Switzerland.

Laisne shot 73, 73, 67 and 67 for eight-under 280. Valenzuela, who bogeyed the 15th and 17th holes in her last round, finished one shot behind with scores of 70, 67, 68 and 76, her final circuit seeing six bogeys undo all the good work she had done over the first three days.
