Missing cut in France will not dent Carly Booth's confidence
Scottish Carly Booth is not happy with the way things are going lately, as the star golfer had to face disappointment last week after she missed the cut at Lacoste Ladies Open De France 2012,
walking off the course quite sooner than her fans had anticipated.
Having got off to a fiery start in the 2012 Ladies European Tour (LET) that saw her rack up two titles, a poor performance at the Lacoste Ladies Open De France 2012 is definitely a big blow
to the rising star, but she has shown in the recent past that she is quick to bounce back and atone for past lapses.
Booth set foot at the Chantaco Golf Club, Aquitaine, France, with an aim to do her best, but a woeful 77 in the first round was not what she and her fans had expected. It dented her confidence
and she kept faltering in the second round that saw her post a 71.
Having started the opening round with a bogey, Booth displayed a jittery performance right from the start of the LET tournament. She shot another bogey on the very next hole, further dampening
her sprits.
Commentators said the course conditions were favourable, giving players much room to make calculated strokes on the putting green, however, scoring as low as a 77 was something unwanted while
most of the lesser-known contenders capitalised on the opportunity.
The second round was a much better in terms of score, but a 71 was not enough sail Booth through the tough line-up and she eventually stormed off the course, missing the cut.
Turning professional in 2009, Booth saw her professional career make major strides after she recorded her maiden LET triumph at the Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open in May 2012.
Her progress did not halt there as the 20-year-old Scottish recorded another victory. She won the Deutsche Bank Ladies Swiss Open in June 2012, outrivaling German duo Caroline Masson and Anja
Monke in playoff.
Observers said that missing the cut in France should not come as a big shock as the young prodigy is going through a transition, trying to keep pace with players having vast experience in
pro golf.
