Parker New Leader at ABN AMRO

Florentyna Parker of England took the lead in round three of the ABN AMRO Ladies Open in the Netherlands after six birdies and no dropped shots in a round of 66 took her to 7 under at the Golfclub Broekpolder in Rotterdam and two shots ahead of chasing pair, Laura Davies of England and Virginie Lagoutte-Clement

Davies blitzed through the front nine in 31 shots earlier in the day carding five birdies but then dropped shots at 11 and 17 to fall back to second on 5 under.

Sophie Sandolo of Italy and Rebecca Hudson of England are in their on 4 under

Overnight leader Hazel Kavanagh of Team Ireland traded birdies and bogeys to remain one under par for most of the morning but a double bogey on the 12th pushed her back down to 1 under in a six way tie for 17th on Saturday.

Martina Gillen signed for a 74 with a double bogey on the fifteenth the biggest setback of the round having carded a few birdies to make up for the five bogeys on the day to remain 3 over par.

Rebecca Coakley finished the front nine in level par and picked two shots on the back nine to sign for a 69 and go to one over – well inside the cut.

Tara Delaney struggled again in round 2 dropping another five shots through with a quintuple bogey on the par four 12th hole the major setback of the day.

Delaney finished +15 and missed the cut.
