Jacqueline finishes third in the Hoof Fest

at Sundance Golf Club in Arizona

Jacqueline Sneddon from Meigle, a sophomore (second year) student at Grand Canyon University, Arizona, finished third in the quaintly-named Hoof Fest, a one-round women's college tournament at Sundance Golf Club - don't they give their clubs and courses great names? - Buckeye, Arizona.

It was one of the first events of the second half of the 2008-2009 American college golf season after the winter closedown. If the truth be known, they could play golf in Arizona 365 days a year but the scores suggest it must have been very windy for the "Hoof Fest," doubtful if it ever rains in the Arizona desert.

Jacqueline shot an 85 over the 5,824yd, par-72 course. Winner was Grand Canyon team-mate Jennifer Lutz with a 79, one shot ahead of Carissa Schwalm (Western New Mexico).

No team scores were recorded.

Jacqueline is a former pupil of Madras College, St Andrews. She will have her 20th birthday on . November 4 (not April as we said earlier). Remember to send her a birthday card!

She is majoring in Marketing at Grand Canyon University and golf is not the only string to her bow. She plays the violin and piano.
