STANFORD INTERCOLLEGIATE TOURNAMENT

KATE O’SULLIVAN RUNS INTO STRONG
OPPOSTION ON WEST COAST
Kate O’Sullivan from Paisley was the leading High Point University, North Carolina team member in the three-round Stanford Intercollegiate women’s golf tournament over the Stanford University par-71 golf course at Palo Alto, California on Sunday.
Both Tiger Woods and Mhairi Mackay were students at Stanford University.
Kate, who tied for 65th place in the field of 102, scored 77, 77 and 76 for a 17-over-par total of 230 in possibly the strongest college field she has played against since she went to the States.
High Point team-mates Jenna Kinnear from Belfast and Ann-Marie Dalton from Carlow finished 97th and 98th respectively with totals of 251 and 252.
Jenna had rounds of 84, 85 and 82; while Ann-Marie scored 86, 87 and 79.
American Curtis Cup player Liz Janangelo won the individual title by the runaway margin of seven strokes from Duke University team-mates Anna Grzebien and Amanda Blumenhirst.
Liz scored 70, 67 and 65 for an 11-under-par total of 202. Anna scored 71, 71 and 67, while Amanda recorded 70, 71 and 68.
Not surprisingly, Duke (834) won the team title by a landslide margin. UCLA were runners-up on 861. High Point, rather out of their depth at this high level, were last of 19 on 963.
