CLECKHEATON'S Olivia Hamilton finished tied fifth in the English Girls Open Amateur Strokeplay Championship.

It could have been an even higher finish for the teenager but a five-over par final-round 78 saw her slip out of contention at the Nottinghamshire Golf & Country Club.

Earlier rounds of 73, 74 and 73 had put the youngster from Oakenshaw in the mix before she ended six shots behind winner Cloe Frankish (Chart Hills), who finished level par.

Hamilton's club mate Megan Clarke was tied 27th.

Meanwhile, Shipley's Will Whiteoak failed to make the cut in the English Amateur Championship at Ganton following rounds of 77, 75.
