Walker and Taylor secure Open spots

25 May 2015 08:32

Scot Kylie Walker and England's Lauren Taylor came through a five-woman play-off to secure their places at the US Women's Open on Monday.

The duo finished on three under alongside Englishwoman Georgia Hall, American Beth Allen and Spaniard Patricia Sanz Barrio but two birdies over three extra holes saw them through.

That completed a good day for the British contingent at Buckinghamshire Golf Club with England's Holly Aitchison and Scotland's Heather Macrae having already qualified on four under alongside Russia's Maria Balikoeva.

There was disappointment, though, for England's Melissa Reid who missed out just days after winning the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open.
