FORMER Lyme Regis golfer Sophie Keech battled to a respectable 37th in her third tournament of the year on the LET Access Tour at Borås Golf Club in Sweden.

On an extremely challenging championship course, Keech recorded two birdies in her first round to finish two-over-par, leaving her tied for 44th.

A highlight of the round for the youngster, who now represents Parkstone, was her successful 30ft putt on the second hole.

The course, with its undulating greens, was made tougher by heavy showers and windy conditions.

However, Keech fought hard to hit three over in her second round and finish five over.

Moving up a place to be tied for 43rd, she made the cut for the first time since turning professional.

On the final day of the competition, with just four English players left, Keech shot a three over round in chilly conditions to finish a respectable 37th overall.

The golfer was happy with her play and is already looking forward to her next event on tour.
