Golf: Scots get off to slow start in Argentina
The tartan trio of Watson, Kelsey MacDonald and Louise Kenney, skippered by Haddington's Lesley Nichoslon, had to settle for a seven-over team total of 151 at the Olivos course yesterday. That left the Scots 15 shots behind early leaders, the USA. Curtis Cup player Watson, two-under early on, ended up with a four-over 76 while Fifer Kenney added a 75 to the tally. Nairn's Scottish champion MacDonald had a non-counting 78.
For the USA, Czech-born Jessica Korda and Cydney Clanton posted a pair of 68s while Daniell Kang had the discarded 70.
