Amalie Leth-Nissen (Den), Carolina Melgrati (Ita), and a trio of English women; Rosie Belsham, Emily Price and Isabelle Simpson all shot a one-under-par 71 to be the top five seeds in this year's championship.Leth-Nissen finished the strongest of the five, with three birdies on her final five holes to secure top spot and a first round match against her sister, Cecilie, in the opening tie this morning.
Defending champion, Emily Toy (Eng) made it into the match play by the skin of her teeth after a count-back on the six-over-par cut line, as did the home favourite Lily May Humphreys (Eng).

10 Clara Young (North Berwick) +1

37 Jasmine Mackintosh (Murcar) +4
43 Lorna McClymont (Milnagavie) +4
44 Chloe Goadby (St Regulus) +4
