Scotland’s Krystle Caithness, who finished in the top 20 on her professional debut in last week’s Swiss Open, continued an impressive start to her Ladies’ European Tour career with a third round one under par 71 at the HypoVereinsbank German Open.

The 20-year-old from St Andrews stood on level par for a share of 28^th place and she was the leading Scot alongside Lynn Kenny, who also shot 71. 

Spain’s Solheim Cup player, Paula Marti, led the tournament on 14 under par after a 66 and she led by a shot from Germany’s Martina Eberl, who had a 67.

Musselburgh’s Vikki Laing, another rookie, dropped shots at the final two holes for a 73 and was on one over par, while Clare Queen, the fourth Scot to make the cut, slumped to a 76 for four over par.
