WASHINGTON, STANFORD GIRLS AT GLENEAGLES
LYNN KENNY AND CLARE QUEEN LEAD
BUT AMERICANS BEAT SCOTTISH SQUAD
A Scottish Institute of Sport squad produced the two highest individual points totals but, as a team, they lost to American colleges Washington and Stanford in a girls' team stableford golf competition over 36 holes at Gleneagles.
The University of Washington totalled 370pt, one more than Stanford with the SIS team scoring 349.
Because of NCAA golf regulations, Washington and Stanford were technically not permitted to play AGAINST each other - only against the SIS team so that the official results were:
Washington beat SIS 370-349 and Stanford beat SIS 369-349.
The first round was played over the Queen's Course and the second over the PGA Centenary Course. The best six cards each day counted for the team total.
England junior international Alex Marshall, a golf scholarship student at Stirling University, was "transferred" to the Washington team for the weekend because of an imbalance in numbers - and she finished up being their leading scorer with 66pt!
Lindsey Morgan, Washington's second top scorer with 65pt, had a hole in one at the par-3 fourth hole (177yd) on the PGA Centenary Course.
The highest individual stableford points aggregate for the two rounds was achieved by Lynn Kenny, the former Scottish champion and Great Britain & Ireland team player from Stirling University and Dunblane.
Lynn scored 31pt over the Queen's Course and 37pt over the PGA Centenary Course for a very good total of 68pt.
Vagliano Trophy team-mate Clare Queen (Drumpellier) was only one point behind her with rounds of 33 and 34 for 67pt.
The visit by the American colleges' girls teams and their coaches was arranged by Steve McNally, the SIS high performance golf coach, as a sequel to a fact-finding trip he made earlier in the year to Stanford University, Tiger Woods' alma mater.
