Gillen Sole Success at LET Q School


Martina Gillen of Team Ireland Golf was the only Irish player to come through the Ladies European Tour  pre-qualifying tournament at La Manga yesterday.

The field for the 72-hole event was divided into two groups, with 35 places available in each for final qualifying, which starts at La Manga on Sunday.

All the players competed alternately on the North and South courses at the Spanish resort.

Gillen comfortably finished joint 15th in Group B on seven-over par - 18 shots behind England's Hannah Burke.

Burke won the Irish Women's Open Strokeplay Championship in 2010 at Newlands.

The previous year she lost a marathon play-off at the seventh tie-hole to Lisa Maguire at Slieve Russell.

Former Curtis Cup player Danielle McVeigh and PGA professional Marion Riordan finished outside the qualifying places.

McVeigh was tied-54th in Group B on 17-over par, while Riordan finished joint 60th on 18-over par in Group A.
