Gemma Dryburgh struck a “nervous” first tee shot of the day at the Ladies Scottish Open and ended it two shots behind leader Nicole Broch Larsen.
The 27-year-old Scot fired a two-under par 69 after being made to wait two hours on the tee for fog to clear.
“I was nervous, but I like feeling a bit of nerves,” she said. “I think it focuses you, as long as you manage them well, which I think I can do now.”
Denmark’s Larsen holds a one-shot lead at North Berwick’s Renaissance Club.
American duo Amy Olson and Jennifer Song are among the five players in the chasing pack on two under.
After carding six birdies, the 2015 Ladies European Tour Player of the Year told the European Tour: “I played a couple of tournaments in Denmark and the key to my score was definitely my putting.
“I’ve also been playing at my home course in Denmark from the white tees, which is a similar length to this week, if not longer than this set-up, so I feel like I have been used to making a lot of up-an-downs, which I managed to do today.”
Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn won the tournament in 2018, with South Korea’s Mi Jung Hur last year’s winner.
