Ladies' British Open Amateur Championship Results

The results so far from the Ladies British Open Amateur Championship which is held at Royal County Down is that our own Roseanne Niven has posted a first found of 75 which is par for the course and at the moment she is 6 off the leader Azahara Munoz (SPA) who is -6 ahead of Jade Scheffer (FRA) and Caroline Westrup (SWE) who are both -3.

Roseanne has made a great start she has matched the par of 75 in very difficult conditions - with wind blowing and fiery greens. Roseanne started at the 10th - this is the first time the LGU have ever used a two-tee start in a championship. She had a double-bogey 5 at the short 14th but birdied three of the par-5 holes, the 13th, 15th and 18th to turn in one-under-par 37. Rosenanne continued birdieing the par-5s with a 4 at the first hole but then dropped shots at the 4th 6th and 8th before birdieing the long ninth for one-over-par 38 for her second nine.

Excellent first round scoring from County Team member Roseanne. Will let you know how Emily faired when I get the result in.
