CARLY PLAYS 3 UNDER

County Champion and Team Member Carly Booth came rocketing into the St Rule Trophy reckoning at St Andrews with the lowest score of the second round - a fantastic three-under-par 73. This added to her Saturday score of 79 over the New Course gives her a total of 152 and puts her in joint third place, only three behind the leader, Anne Laing, with one round still to go over the Old Course. Unfortunately Carly had a two-stroke penalty imposed on Saturday as her caddie-dad Wally stood directly behind her as she was driving. Without this Carly would only have been one shot off the pace after two rounds.
Carly showed great character by not letting the incident upset her and went on the play a brilliant second round. Carly was out in one under par 37 with birdies at the long fifth and ninth and a bogey at the sixth. She had an eagle 3 at the par-5 13th, dropped a shot at the 16th but birdied the Road Hole 17th which is a par-5 from the LGU tee. Carly played an excellent approach shot, giving herself a chance of another eagle however she missed the 8 foot putt and was left with only a tap in for a birdie 4.
With one round to go there is all to play for!

Her scoring was:
OUT: 4 5 4 5 4 5 4 3 3 - 37 (one under par).IN: 4 3 4 3 5 4 5 4 4 - 36 (two under par)

Another county Team member and former County Champion Roseanne Niven was also played well with a 82 over the new course and a 77 over the old course this morning.

I will try to keep you posted on the eventual outcome of the days play.
