Glasgow's Chris McManus comes 4th in Kansas
Chris McManus from Glasgow, a freshman student at Bethany College, Kansas, finished fourth (on Monday) in a field of 65 players at the Swede Fall Invitational over 36 holes at Salini Muni & Elks Club, Salina in Kansas.
McManus had rounds of 71 and 75 over the two courses used (par 70 & 71) for a total of five-over-par 146.
The event was won by a Bethany College team-mate, Jack Hiscock from Swindon with rounds of 68 and 70 for 138.
It was Bethany College's "home" event - their nickname is "The Swedes" - and they dominated the leaderboard, claiming the first four places.
A fifth Bethany College student, Adam Glover from Brentwood, Essex came eighth on 149 with a 68 and a 81. Adam's first round had him sharing the lead with Jack Hiscock.
Yet another Bethany College man, Ben Price from England - Saundersfoot? - tied for 19th position on 155 with scores of 77 and 78.
Obviously, Bethany College won the team event - by 23 shots from Hastings College in a field of eight teams.
Curtis Cup player Jodi Ewart from Catterick, a student at New Mexico University, was lying joint fifth in a field of 81 players after the first round of the Windy City Collegiate women's championship at The Glen Club, Glenview in Illinois.
Over a par-72 course of 6,286yd, Jodi has had rounds of 72 and 71 so far for a tally of 143. Most unlike Jodie, she had a double bogey 6 at the eighth in her second round. But she does shoot a lot of birdies - seven so far over the first 36 holes.
England international Ellis Keenan from Sunningdale, a freshman student at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) is sharing 43rd place on 152 after scores of 80 and 72.
Canadian Maude-Aimee Le Blanc (Purdie) has had rounds of 68 and 69 for 137 and leads by four from team-mate Junthima Gulyanamitta with 71 and 70.
Curtis Cup Scot Sally Watson was tied for 14th place in a field of 73 players at the end of the first round of the Edean Ihladfeldt Invitational tournament at Sahalee Country Club, Washington State.
Sally had two double bogey 6s - at the seventh and 15th - but she did birdie the long 11th, short 17th and long 18th.
Another Scot, California's Roseanne Niven also had two double bogeys - a 7 at the lont 11th and a 5 at the short 17th in returning an 80 for a share of 33rd place.
Leading the field with a par-match 72 over the 6136yd course was England's Natasha Podmore from Delamere Forest.
