Valerie Clancy (Killarney) led the qualifiers, winning the Leitrim Cup, at the Irish Women’s Close Championship in Enniscrone with a level par score of 146.
On a tough day for scoring, Clancy became the second Killarney member in a row to lead the qualifying at this event following Mairead Martin in Mullingar last year. Ciara Casey (Hermitage) and Shannon Burke (Ballinrobe) shared second place on 148 while Deirdre Smith (Co. Louth), who opened with a 2 under par 70, qualified in fourth place.
The Championship now progresses to the matchplay stages where Clancy will face 32nd qualifier Chloe O’Connor (Roscommon) on Sunday morning. The next 16 have qualified to play in the Ita Wallace Trophy.
