Chris Robb wins in second
event on US college circuit
Former Scottish schoolboys champion Chris Robb (Inchmarlo, Banchory), a freshman student at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, has scored his first win on the US college circuit in just his second tournament.
Chris enrolled at UTC at the beginning of the year but was not eligible to start playing golf for the university until the start of the 2010-2011 college season.
Robb won the 54-hole Springhill Suites Collegiate competition at the Country Club of South Carolina yesterday with an excellent total of nine-under-par 207, made up of rounds of 66, 69 and 72 over a longish par-72 course of 7,062yd.
His performance enabled UTC to finished second in the team event behind Georgia College.
"Chris Robb was great all three rounds," said head coach Mark Guhne. "His putt on 18 was really hard and under the pressure of a win, it was a great roll."
Robb won by one shot and did so in exciting fashion. At his final hole, he holed a slick, downhill left-to-right five-footer for par to earn the one-shot win over Billy Shida of Georgia College.
There was another Scot in the field - Kyle Godsman from the North. Now a student at the University of South Carolina-Aiken, Kyle finished joint 15th in the field of 79 players with a one-over-par total of 217, made up of scores of 69, 74 and 74.
