Coughlan 12th in Ladies Open

Cork's Claire Coughlan saved her best for last in the British Ladies Open strokeplay championship at Alwoodley, Leeds yesterday.

After two dismal rounds, which left her struggling to make the halfway cut, the Irish international produced a couple of solid displays yesterday for a pair of 74's to move up the field.

She finished in joint 12th with an aggregate of 305, albeit 11 strokes off the pace.
