Gomersal-based Georgina Simpson was always up against it after carding an opening 80 in the Scottish Open and finished 51st on ten over par.

The Cleckheaton honorary member did well to make the cut with a second-round 71, holing a tricky six-footer on the last to stay in the event, before closing with a 72.

She said: "I played really well on the last day, hitting 15 greens and putted great but unfortunately the wet conditions played havoc with my chipping and my putts all shaved the hole. All in all after that disastrous first round of 80, the 71,72 that followed were much more positive."
