West Kilbride amateur Louise Duncan had an impressive opening round on the first day of the AGI Women's Open at Carnoustie.
The 21 year old student carried off an eagle and four birdies to match the 68 of playing partner and 2018 winner Georgia Hall.
Louise, who studies at Stirling University, revealed that she she butterflies at the beginning of the day - before going on to have 'a ridiculous amount of fun.'
Speaking to Sky Sports, the young talent said: “I’m over the moon with it.
“I was so nervous at the start. I was shaking and could barely put the ball on the tee. To actually make contact and it go straight was a bonus.
“The course is in great condition and it was actually quite playable. There’s good scores out there definitely and to finish off with four pars I’m extremely happy because it’s a tough stretch.
“It was really nice to have a few of my friends and family here, supporting me all the way round.”
Louise, who won the Women's Amateur Championship at Barassie in June, is one shot off the lead on her Women's Open debut, with world number one and Olympic champion Nelly Korda with a five-under-par 67 to share the lead with Sweden’s Madelene Sagstrom and South Korea’s Sei Young Kim.
