Last year’s Scottish youths golf champion Peter McLachlan, pictured right, from Eastwood, a student at the University of Missouri Kansas City, tied for 13th place in the Bill Ross Intercollegiate tournament at Hillcrest Country Club, Kansas City.
Peter had rounds of 72, 72 and 75 for a total of 219 – 10 shots behind the joint winners Bruno Buccolo and Rhein Gibson, both students at Oklahoma Christian University.
McLachlan’s team-mate, Alex Hogben, a freshman from Ringway, Manchester, finished 10th with 71, 69 and 76 for 216 over the par-72, 6,763yd course. Hogben’s final round cost him the joint second place he held with one round to go.
Oklahoma Christian (852) won the team event by nine shots from Oklahoma City. UMKC finished third on 866.
