SWEDISH PLAYER IS MID-SEASON
PLAYER ON US COLLEGE CIRCUIT

Sweden’s Caroline Westrup, a regular competitor at the St Rule Trophy tournament in St Andrews, has been named the “Mid-Season Player of the Year” on the American women’s college circuit by Golf World Magazine.
Caroline, pictured right, with an eight-under-par total of 280, won the individual title at the women’s world amateur team championship for the Espirito Santo Trophy in South Africa in October when Sweden lost out in a card countback to South Africa for the team title.
A sophomore student at Florida State University, she is the top-ranked female college player in the United States with a scoring average of 71.71.
She finished the fall season with four rounds scored at par or better and with six of her seven single-round scores at 75 or below.
Westrup shot her career-best 66 in the final round of the Cougar Classic to score her second US college tournament victory.
