Connie Chen carded a 79 on day two of the Girls British Open Amateur to qualify for the match play on +13. Bertine Strauss however had to wait until late in the day and a playoff to ensure that she too made the cut.
On the final day of the Harder Junior Masters being played at Golfclub Heddeshein, Gut Neuzenhof, teeing off in the second last group and lying tied third, Connie Chen turned three over. However after the 12 hole in the extremely hot conditions, she lost concentration and dropped a further four shots to card 79 and finish tied ninth – a good performance on her first visit to Europe.
