REGULAR NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN COLLEGE GOLF SCENE
JENNA AND HEATHER READY FOR SAN DIEGO STATE DEBUT
Jenna Wilson and Heather MacRae will make their competitive debuts for the San Diego State University women's golf team later this week.
The 2003-2004 season opener is the 25th Annual Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational. The tournamend is hosted by Mountain West Conference rival New Mexico.
The 17-team field features all six MWC teams and six of Golfweek's pre-season top 25 teams, led by No. 4 Oklahoma State. The 54-hole tournament is held Thursday-Saturday at the University of New Mexico championship course.
San Diego State University women's head coach Felicia Brown says:
"I am very excited about this season. This is the strongest team I have seen here. We have some excellent newcomers to go along with several key returnees and we have been playing some good golf.
"However, we are a very young team so we have to see how we handle tournament pressure away from home. If we can handle it, we can do some damage.
"The New Mexico tournament will be a good test for us as there is some great competition, so we will see from the start how we measure up and hold up under tournament conditions against quality teams."

Of course, Scots are not the only players from Britain on the American college circuit. There are almost as many Irish players ... well, not quite.
And there are two English players I stumbled across as I was trawling the college golf websites tonight. Danielle Roseberry from Sunderland is at New Mexico State while Gemma Harris from Sheffield is at Florida State.
