Welsh girl international Kelly Miller helped Daytona State College win the rain-shortened Jacksonville University Women's Classic today at Hidden Hills Country Club, Jacksonville in Florida.
Kelly, pictured by courtesy of Tom Ward Photography, improved by 10 shots - an 87 to a 77 - and that proved a crucial upward swing as Daytona State won the team title by seven shots from hosts Jacksonville and joint runners-up Miami.
The big title-winning performance came from Japanese student Mitsuki Katahira who produced a superb second-round 69 - three under par - for a total of 143. She won by eight shots, tasting victory on the US women's college circuit for about the fifth or sixth time.
Mitsuki won the NJCAA women's title at the end of last college season and is heading for a repeat. It's a wonder that one of the top NCAA colleges has not tried to persuade this Japanese ace to transfer. But there's no January transfer window, as in British football, and maybe it would not be allowed anyway.
Individual runner-up was Briana Carlson (Florida Gulf Coast) with rounds of 76 and 75.
