CATRIONA MATTHEW OUT OF LADIES' SCOTTISH OPEN

Catriona Matthew's bid for a third Scottish Ladies Open is over. A second round of 74 meant she finished on +6 and missed the cut by one shot.


At the halfway stage of the ASI Ladies' Scottish Open, Spain’s Azahara Munoz and American major winner Stacy Lewis lead by one stroke at five-under-par.

Lewis shot the round of the day with a five-under-par 66, which included four birdies on the last four holes.

Three Scottish players made the cut.

Scotland's No 1 Gemma Dryburgh still leads the home hopes heading into the weekend, despite a disappointing second round. A four-over-par 75 saw her drop back to T53 at +2 for her two rounds. 

Kylie Henry also posted a score of 75 to finish T53 on +4, while Michele Thomson shot a two-under-par score of 69 to finish T62 on +5. Thomson was one of only 15 players that broke par on Friday. 

Henry and Thomson were rewarded for their efforts with a place in next week's AIG Women's Open as there were 21 places available at the Ladies' Scottish Open for those not already qualified.

There was not such good news for Scots Kelsey Macdonald, Carly Booth and Alison Muirhead. They had left too much to do after Day 1 and, along with Catriona Matthew, all missed the cut.
