Scotland were well beaten 14-4 by England in the schoolboys' golf international at Troon Darley today (Monday).

The Scots trailed by only 1pt after the six morning foursomes (3.5-2.5) but were hammered 10.5-1.5 in the 12 afternoon singles.

Seven of the singles went to the 18th green but only local Ayrshire lad, Cameron Johnstone (Marr College) won an afternoon tie for Scotland.

Cameron Adam (Merchiston Castle School) halved his singles.

In fairness to the Scots, it was one of the youngest Scotland boys' teams to be fielded in this annual international.

MEGAN TO BECOME OUR NEXT INTERNATIONALIST

Just had a message from a very excited Megan to inform me that she has been selected to play for Scotland under 16's against England at Montrose in 3 weeks time. She thoroughly deserves this honour after the fantastic season she has had so far. No one merits it more.

BRITISH WOMEN'S OPEN 2ND ROUND UPDATE

Megan just missed out on making the cut at the British Women's Open Stroke Play Championship by 1 shot. Her score of 75 today will see her handicap cut again. Kirsty shot 78 to finish 4 shots further back. Great display by both girls and another step upwards for Strathmore Juniors

BRITISH WOMEN'S OPEN STROKE PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

Megan 48th and Kirsty 54th sit just outside the cut (top 40) after yesterday's first round. Our best wishes go to them today.
