THE English challenge ended in the Ladies' British Amateur Championship at North Berwick when both Jodi Ewart and Hannah Ralph were beaten in the third round.
Jodi, a Curtis Cup player from Catterick Golf Club, was beaten 4/2 by top seed Caroline Hedwall.
The Swede, who has a handicap of plus 5.4, was two under par when she closed out the match.
The Yorkshire player was well in touch throughout the front nine – she was just one down on the eighth tee - but her opponent was four up by the 14th.
Only one British player made it through the third round and into the quarter-finals.
Roseanne Niven, 19, beat fellow Scot Pamela Pretswell by 2/1 to claim her place in the last eight.
Jodie has been named in a strong side of internationals by The English Women’s Golf Association for the European ladies’ team championship at Stenungsund, Sweden, from July 8-12.
The team, captained by Sally Watkins (Teignmouth) is: Hampshire’s Liz Bennett and Kerry Smith, Yorkshire’s Naomi Edwards and Jodi Ewart, Staffordshire’s Rachel Jennings and Lancashire’s Florentyna Parker.
The reserve is Durham’s Ellie Givens.
