#######################################
American star Val Skinner took the
British Open by the scruff of the neck
as she went to 10-under but it was only
good enough for second place.
Skinner, who holds a bizarre honorary
navy admiral title in landlocked
Nebraska, looked ship-shape on Saturday
as she fired a stunning 67.
A six-footer dropped at the 17th for
her seventh birdie of the day but she
nearly went out of bounds with a
wayward drive at the last.
She scrambled clear from an awkward lie
to save par and take the clubhouse lead
before Karrie Webb edged her out.
