Pamela finishes in joint 17th in Portuguese Open

Pamela Pretswell, playing in her first competition since last September's home internationals, admitted before she left for Portugal that a combination of studies for exams at Glasgow University and the severity of the Scottish winter which closed most courses for a long spell, had raised her enthusiasm for a game of golf but left her desperately short of match-practice. In the event, Pretswell's scores highlighted that deficiency. She was bang in contention with a sub-par opening round of 71 and then gradually slipped down the field, unable to produce consistent good golf because she was simply too rusty. Subsequent rounds of 74, 77 and 74 gave her a total of eight-over-par 296. The winner with a total of 283 was Anna Arrese of Spain with Lara Katzy on 284 in second place.
