JODI AND RACHEL NECK AND NECK
AT BOULDER CREEK, NEVADA

Former Daily Telegraph national girls champion Jodi Ewart from Middletham, Yorkshire is on the six-under-par mark after two rounds of the UNLV Spring Rebel Invitational – only one shot behind the pacemaking Rachel Newren (Brigham Young University).
Jodi, pictured right, a member of Catterick Golf Club and a freshman (first year) student at New Mexico University, has shot rounds of 68 and 70, compared with Rachel’s 67 and 70 over the par-72, 6,199yd course AT Boulder Creek Golf Club, Boulder City in Nevada.
Rachel had two eagle 2s in her opening round and that has made all the difference so far at the top of the leaderboard.
Miss Ewart has had nine birdies over her two rounds. She birdied the fourth, fifth, 11th and 16th on her second circuit on which her two bogies came at the eighth and 18th.
Brigham Young (563) are leading the team event from Indiana (570) with Idaho (573) third and New Mexico (574) fourth of the 18 competing colleges.
The 54-hole tournament ends on Wednesday.
