Jessica Schiele wins from Katie Mundy in Texas

English girls 1-2-4 and 10 in US college tournament

Jessica Schiele, a freshman Redlands Community College, Oklahoma student from Grimsby, finished first and Katie Mundy from Hampshire, a student at Western Texas College, finished first and second in yesterday's UMHB/Lady Cru Spring Invitational college tournament at Mill Creek golf course, Salado in Texas.
In all, there were four English-born students in the top 10 with Hollie Weatherburn (Western Texas), the Cumbrian champion, in fourth place and Kelly MacPhail (Redlands CC) from Manchester in 10th place in a field of 49 competitors.
Jess Schiele, a member at Kenwick Park Golf Club, Lincolnshire, lost to the eventual beaten finalist Elizabeth Mallett in last year's British girls championship at West Lancs Golf Club. She will be 19 on March 20.
To win her first US college tournament, Jess returned two scores of 76 for a total of 152 over the par-73, 5,873yd course (seems a high par for a shortish-course?).
Katie Mundy finished second for the second week in row with scores of 77 and 78 for 155. Team-mate Hollie Weatherburn came fourth with 80 and 81 for 161.
Kelly MacPhail scored 90 and 84 for 174.
Western Texas (654) won a team title for the second week in a row, thanks to the sterling efforts of Katie and Hollie.
Redlands CC (670) were runners-up in a field of nine teams.
