MICHELE AND LEWIS SETTLING
DOWN ON US COLLEGE CIRCUIT
Michele Thomson finished joint 26th in a field of 90 on her debut for Jacksonville State University, Alabama on the American college circuit.
Competing in the Unlimited Potential Classic, the Ellon teenager, winner of the North of Scotland women’s title for the past two years, had rounds of 76, 75 and 78 for a 10-over-par total of 229 over the par-73, 6,149yd Shaftesbury Glen course at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Michele finished 17 shots behind the winner, Araceli Felgueroso (Coastal Carolina) who shot 71, 70 and 71 for a five-shot win from Kelly Garlack (Southern Illinois).
Jacksonville State University (910) finished seventh of 15 in the team evnt behind Charleston (890).
Michele was the third best of the five JSU players in the field and was joint second best (one under par) in the field of 90 players for scoring at the par-3 holes.
She was joint ninth for total par figures with 38 out of 54.
KIRTON SETTLES QUICKLY
Lewis Kirton from Oldmeldrum, a freshman student at the University of Louisville-Kentucky, finished 26th of 78 in a quality field for the Mattaponi Springs Intercollegiate tournament at Rutherglen, Virginia.
Lewis had scores of 72, 73 and 74 for a three-over-par total of 219 over the par-72, 6,911yd course.
Giving Kirton, a Great Britain & Ireland boy international, a taste of the standard of play in some American college events, the first 16 players all broke par for their 54-hole totals. The winner was Dan Woltman (Wisconsin) at 14-under 202 with 65, 70 and 67.
But Lewis did have the satisfaction of helping Louisville-Kentucky to score a joint win in the team event. They finished with a 13-under-par total of 851 – the same as Pennsylvania State. A one-hole play-off featuring all 10 team players did not break the deadlock and the teams were declared joint winners.
Kirton scored third best of the five ULK players in the tournament and he has settled very quickly. He scored 74-75-80 for 229 and joint 15th place in his debut event, the Rich Harvest Farms Invitational at Dekalb, Illinois where Louisville-Kentucky won the team event.
