England's Holly Aitchison and Lauren Taylor and the Scottish duo of Heather MacRae and Kylie Walker have qualified for the US Women's Open.

Aitchsion and MacRae carded four-under totals of 140, external at Buckinghamshire Golf Club to book their places at the Lancaster Country Club in July.

Walker and Taylor then won through a five-woman play-off with England's Georgia Hall among those missing out.

The US Women's Open takes place from 9-12 July in Pennsylvania.

Taylor, 20, from Rugby, was the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year in 2011 after winning the Ladies British Open Amateur Championship at the age of 16.

She said: "It couldn't have gone better. I finished birdie-birdie and then to go into a play-off and birdie the hole was really fun."

Glasgow's Walker, 28, who won twice on the European Tour last year, sealed her place at the third extra hole.

She said: "I'm really delighted to get through and excited about heading to America."
