RACHEL Connor - leading the way for England.
England star Rachel warms to the task
14/ 4/2005
THIRD place was warming reward for Rachel Connor (pictured right) when she competed in the St Leonard's under 16 open championship in Scotland.
The 14-year-old four-handicapper from Manchester Golf Club battled against strong winds and a bitterly cold atmosphere on the Strathtyrum course at St Andrews.
She said: "I've never played in conditions like that. One girl even got frostbite."
Rachel finished two shots behind defending champion Krystie Caithness and one behind second-placed Carly Booth.
But she was the leading English player and helped England to second place in the team tournament.
One of her England team-mates was Manchester's Kelly Tidy.
