By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Aboyne's Carmen Griffiths produced the best round of her young golfing career - a four-under-par 69 - to join Kirsty Brodie (Strathmore) in joint fourth place on the 149 mark with one day to go in the Scottish U18 Girls Open championship at Monifieth Links today.
Carmen's round is the only sub-70 score by anyone in the field of 120 players over the first two days of the tournament.
The Aboyne teenager, pictured right, had six birdies and improved by 11 strokes on her first-round 80. Her birdies came at the first, second, fourth, ninth, 14th and 17th in halves of 34 and 35. She bogeyed the 11th and 13th.
Kirsty has so far shot scores of 77 and 72. The two Scots are four shots behind the joint leaders on one under par 145, both from south of the Border: Natasha Slater (Ulverston) (73-72) and Rosie Belsham (Whitley Bay (72-73)
Welsh player Ffion Tynan (Minchinhampton) is only one shot off the lead in third place with rounds of 74 and 72.
A total of 11 Scots made the cut to the leading 60 and ties with 36 hole tallies of 164 and better
