Sally Watson's 66 lifts her above Jodi Ewart

in final totals at NCAA Championships

Curtis Cup Scot Sally Watson returned one of the lowest scores in NCAA Women's Championships history with a six-under-par 66 in the final round at the Country Club of Landfall, Wilmington in North Carolina today.
With earlier scores of 73, 71 and 76, the Stanford University freshman had a total of two-under-par 286 over the Pete Dye designed course of 6,368yd.
The leaders have still to finish - US Curtis Cup player Jennifer Johnson (Arizona State) and Sweden's Caroline Hedwall (Oklahoma State) - are heading the leaderboard jointly at 11 under par with just a few holes to play.
Sally Watson finished ahead of Yorkshire's Jodi Ewart (New Mexico) who played with the Scot from South Queensferry in the GB&I team at the 2008 Curtis Cup match over the Old Course, St Andrews.
But Jodi, coming up to the end of four years at the University of New Mexico, had already decided to turn pro BEFORE next month's Curtis Cup match so that she could go straight on to the US Duramed Futures Tour as a professional.
Jodi had rounds of 73, 71, 72 and 73 for a total of one-over-par 289 and was joint 15th among the early finishers.
Sally Watson, who started at the 10th and birdied the 10th, 11th, short 13th, short 16th and long 18th in a half of five-under-par 31, then birdied the short second and the long fifth before encountering her only bogey of a brilliant round at the eight for one-under-par 35 for holes 1 to 9.
Leader in the clubhouse was Megan McChrystal (Louisiana State University) with scores of 72, 71, 76 and 64 for 283.
