Jodi and Hannah only to GB players in US top 100

US colleges are not recruiting the top


British and Irish teenage prospects


The best of British & Irish girl golfers are not attracted these days by four years on the American college golf circuit.
That's about the only conclusion that can be drawn from a study of the end-of-the 2008-2009 US women's college rankings.
There are only two English players in the top 100.
Curtis Cup player Jodi Ewart (New Mexico) is ranked No 9 and Hannah Burke (Baylor University, Texas) is ranked No 84.
In 104th position is Anna Scott (Georgia State) from Consett, Co Durham.
Ellie Givens (Denver) from Darlington is No 129.
Gemma Webster (Ohio State) from Glasgow is No 200.
