Jodi Ewart second again - even with an

11-under-par total at Albuquerque

Curtis Cup player Jodi Ewart from Yorkshire, a student at the University of New Mexico, finished runner-up again in her latest US college circuit tournament - despite scoring 11 under par.
She was second in her first event of the 2009-2010 US college golf season, again with a 54-hole aggregate of several under par.
This latest tournament was over her home course in the States - the University of New Mexico's at Albquerque, measuring 6187yd with a par of 73.
It was the quaintly-named Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire tournament and it was won with a 12-under-par total of 207 by Kendra Little (Oregon) who scored 71, 68 and 68. In her final round Kendra birdied the ninth, 11th, 13th, 14th, 16th and 17th - and she had to to hold Jodi at bay!
Jodi's rounds were 69, 71 and 68 for 208. In her final round, Miss Ewart came home in 31. She bogeyed the sixth and then birdied the ninth, 10th, 11th, 13th, 17th and 18th.

Ellis scored 74, 74 and 75 for 223 and tied for 22nd place. She had a double bogey 6 at the 15th in her final round or else she would have made the top 20 - which is a good performance, considering she was completely new to playing golf in the States.
