LATIMER SCORES SECOND WIN

ON US COLLEGE GOLF CIRCUIT

Peter Latimer from Markinch, Fife, a second-year student at Guilford College, Greensboro in North Carolina, has achieved his second victory on the United States college golf circuit.
Latimer, pictured right, did not let thunderstorms and lightning delays affect his concentration on the final day of the Pine Needles Intercollegiate tournament over the Donald Ross-designed par 71, 7015yd course at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club, Southern Pines in North Carolina.
He shot 71 and 72 for a one-over-par total of 143 on testing course to win by two shots from Guilford College team-mate Burton Wood (77-68).
After his success, Latimer was named Old Dominion Athletic Conference Golfer of the Week - the fourth time he has gained the honour in his 18 months at Guilford College. He was the conference's Rookie of the Year for the 2006-2007 college golf season during which he scored his first US tournament win.

Belmont Abbey College (591) won the team event in the Pine Needles Intercollegiate tournament, 10 strokes ahead of Guilford College.
