JANICE Moodie yesterday overcame personal disappointment to ensure

Scotland at least gave England a run for their money in the European

junior girls' team championship at Saint Nom La Breteche. In the battle

for fifth position, England squeezed home 4-3.

For Moodie, however, a stunning 4 and 3 win over Curtis Cup heroine

Caroline Hall helped soften the blow received earlier this week, when

she learned that the University of Hawaii are no longer considering her

for a golf scholarship.

It is a major setback for the 19-year-old Scottish champion. After

having taken and passed the entrance examination, she was offered a

place in May. However, it now seems the university are insisting on more

qualifications.

For the third morning in succession, however, Scotland failed to

salvage a point from the foursomes. That said, the Scots fought tooth

and nail for everything after lunch and the efforts of Claire Macdonald

and Mhairi McKay were rewarded. Results:
