Lisburn’s Paula Grant is seven shots adrift of Scotland’s Hannah McCook heading into Sunday’s final round of the Welsh Ladies Open Stroke Play at Aberdovey.
Recently named in the eight-strong GB&I Curtis Cup squad for June’s clash with the USA in New York, the Irish champion made three birdies in a two-over 75 to share eighth place on two-over 148 with Ballinrobe’s Shannon Burke a shot further back in tied 12th after a 75.
Milltown’s Georgia Carr shot 75 to share 22nd on five-over 151 with Grange’s Elisa Corcoran making the cut on the mark on 159 after an 80 as Hermitage’s Canice Screene missed out by just one stroke.
McCook added a 70 to her opening 71 to lead by two strokes from England’s Sophie Lambe on five-under.
