Peter Latimer from Markinch outside
top 25 with only one over par US total
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Peter Latimer from Markinch, a quarter-finalist at this year's Allied Surveyors Scottish amateur championship at Royal Troon, is back at Guilford College, Greensboro, North Carolina where he is senior (fourth year) student.
In his latest US college golf circuit competition, Peter, pictured right at Royal Troon by Cal Carson Golf Agency, finished joint 26th in a field of 87 for the Sea Trail men's intercollegiate with scores of 74, 71 and 72 for a total of 217 over the par-72, 6,761yd course at Meadowlands Country Club, Wallburg, North Carolina. The fact that Latimer finished out of the top 25 with an aggregate of only one over par for 54 holes underlines the quality of the leading players.
In all there were six British students in the field.
Joe Campbell from Cheltenham, a senior student at Belmont Abbey Gollege, North Carolina, finished joint 16th with scores of 74, 71 and 70 for 215.
Stephen Keane from Glasgow, also a senior student at Belmont Abbey College, had rounds of 74, 70 and 72 for a share of 20th place on 216.
Alongside Latimer on the 217 mark was Peter Tarver Jones (Belmont Abbey College) with scores of 74, 72 and 71.
Gavin St John Frost from Berkshire, a junior student at Jacksonville University, Florida, had rounds of 71, 79 and 75 for 225 and a share of 64th place.
Scot Kyle McClung from Glenluce, Wigtownshire did not have a good competition. A sophomore student at Belmont Abbey College, Kyle had rounds of 77, 82 and 81 for 24-over-par 225 and was last of the 87 finishers.
The tournament was won by Mark Joye (Wofford) with an eight-under-par total of 208, made up of scores of 70, 66 and 72. He won by a shot from two Stetson University players - I suppose we have to take our hats off to them? - Sam Ryder (66-71-71) and Micah Jacobsen (69-72-68).
