Carty falls by the wayside

A six over par 77 for an aggregate of 225 at Slovenia’s Diners Club wrecked any chances Irish girls champion Jessica Carty had of surviving the 54 hole cut in the European Ladies Individual Amateur Championship.

Starting at the 10th she covered her first nine in a respectable 36, but then had three sixes in 41 on the back nine, ruling her right out of contention.

Any hopes Chloe Ryan (Castleroy) and Paula Grant (Lisburn) had of maintaining interest in the contest had long since disappeared as they were 17 and 21 over par, respectively, with three holes of their third round left.
