ROSEANNE HAS AN 87 IN FIRST
ROUND AT ARIZONA NATIONAL

Roseanne Niven (California Berkeley) from Crieff returned a 16-over-par score of 87 over the 6,166yd Arizona National course at Tucson in the first round of the 54-hole Arizona Wildcat Invitational tournament today. Before the end of the day, she would have played her second round.
Roseanne had a nightmare 9 - a quadruple bogey at the second and double bogeys at the 13th and 17th - but the Scottish Under-18 girls champion, playing in only her second round on the American women's circuit, was not alone in struggling over a tough course, tough if you did not keep the ball on the fairways.
Jodi Ewart (New Mexico) from Catterick had a remarkable score of 34 for the second nine - an eagle at the 18th, birdies at the 12th, 13th, 16th and 17, and bogeys at the other holes. So she did not have a par on her inward half!
Jodi finished her first round on one-over-par 72 to be two shots behind the pacemaker, Amanda Blumenherst (Duke).
