HELEN HOLM DAY 1

Mixed fortunes for Strathmore girls on first day at Troon. Kirsty showed her fighting spirit to come back from a 3 bogey start to finish tied 10th. Birdies at 8, 9 and 15 got her back to level par and despite a bogey on 16 she was delighted with her round. Megan was 4 over after 3 but steadied the ship and after 13 was only 5 over but 6 dropped shots over the closing 5 holes has left her outside the cut line but hopefully a decent 2nd round will improve her position.
