Another bad weather day in New Mexico
Krystle's bogey short hole costs her
a 6 in third round at Albuquerque
Don't mention the weather if you bump into Curtis Cup player Krystle Caithness when she flies home to Fife this weekend!
The forecast was bad for the four-day NCAA Division 1 women's college championship over the University of New Mexico course at Albuquerque. If anything it has been worse than predicted ... high winds, hail and rain, plus, by New Mexico standards, chilly temperatures.
Today is the last day of the scheduled 72-hole tournament but there's a whole bunch of players who could not complete their third rounds yesterday on yet another day of suspensions because of the weather.
Krystle Caithness, a student at Georgia University, had a triple bogey 6 at the short second – the hole cost her a double bogey 5 in the second round – on her way to a third-round five-over-par 77 over the 6474yd course.
She has a running total of 11 over par 227 after rounds of 76 74 77 but it is well nigh impossible to say what her overall position is in the quality field of 126.
Leader in the clubhouse is Azahara Munoz (Arizona State University), winner of the British open girls title at Lanark in 2004. She has shot 69, 72 and 73 for two-under-par 214.
From those who have completed their rounds, Azahara leads by one from US Curtis Cup player Tiffany Joh (UCLA) and another Spanish player, Belen Mozo (Southern California), winner of both the British girls’ and women’s open championships two years ago.
Ireland’s Danielle McVeigh (Texas A&M), England’s Ellie Givens (Denver) and the top two US Curtis Cup players, Amanda Blumenherst (Duke) and Stacy Lewis (Arkansas) are among those who have not yet returned their third-round scorecards.
