Selby’s Ellie Goodall carded 80, three shots better than Rotherham’s Olivia Winning, while Morris’s clubmate Melissa Wood had an 87.

Morris was unable to find a birdie all day, although she did produce an eagle, at the 443-yard par-5 fifth.

Goodall showed tremendous grit by responding to three consecutive double bogeys after the turn with birdies at both 14 and 16.
