Nick Flynn from Surrey, a student at Western Texas College, was pipped in a play-off for the title in the Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) Classic at the Golf Club of Texas in San Antonio, Texas on Tuesday.
Nick tied with Nick Chacon of the host university on 142 after rounds of 70 and 72 over a par-72 course of more than 7,000yd (7022 to be precise). Flynn's 70 was the joint best score of the first round.
Chacon matched the 142 total with a pair of 71s.
Chacon then won the play-off - US college websites treat play-offs in a funny way: they barely mention them and they don't go into the detail we would consider essential i.e. the OLLU website simply said that Chacon won the tie-break - end of story!
Flynn's Western Texas team-mates James Kerr from Solihall and Nick Martin from London finished 17th and tied 31st respectively in a smallish field of 37 players. Kerr scored 77 and 76 for 153, Martin 85 and 80 for 165.
Nick Flynn's consolation for losing the individual title play-off was the fact that Western Texas College (590) won the team title by two shots from OLLU in a field of five teams.
Editor's note: We would like to show you a picture of Nick Flynn but there's not one on the Western Texas College website.
SCOT MAXWELL JOINT THIRD IN MUSTANG INTERCOLLEGIATE
Steven Maxwell from Glasgow, a student at Western New Mexico University, finished joint third in a field of 95 players at the Mustang Intercollegiate over the University of New Mexico's championship course at Albuquerque.
Steven, pictured right, had rounds of 77, 73 and 77 for a total of 227 over the very long par-72 course of 7,351yd.
The Scot finished only two shots behind the winner, John Jackson (CSU-Monterey Bay) who had scores of 75, 78 and 72 for 225, winning by one stroke from Justin Spray (Fort Lewis College) (74-75-77).
CSU-Monterey Bay (914) won the team title ahead of Fort Lewis College (921) with Western New Mexico (957) 10th in a field of 18 teams.
TOP 15 FINISH BY GROVES HELPS OKLAHOMA CITY WIN TEAM TITLE
Elliot Groves (Oklahoma City University) from Winchester tied for 14th place in a field of 85 players at the CBA Spring Break Intercollegiate tournament at Primm Valley Golf Club, Primm in Nevada.
Over another 7,000yd+ course (7,126) - there seems to be a trend to lengthen the courses on the US men's college circuit - Elliot, pictured left, had roounds of 73, 79 and 70 for a total of six-over-par 222. Good last round which got him into the top 20.
On the same mark was Londoner Yousaf Khan (Grand Valley University, Des Moines) with scores of 75, 74 and 73.
Greg Richards (SCAD Savannah) won with a three-under-par total of 213. He started modestly with a 78 but then suddenly caught fire to shoot 69 and 66.
Elliot's effort helped Oklahoma City (870) win the team title ahead of SCAD Savannah (875) with Grand View (877) third of 15 teams.
THREE ENGLISH STUDENTS IN TOP 10 AT QUAIL RIDGE
Three English students at Bethany College, Kansas finished in the top 10 of the South Central Kansas Spring Intercollegiate tournament at Quail Ridge Golf Club, Winfield in Kansas.
Jack Hiscock, pictured right, from Swindon finished fourth on his own in a field of 78 players with a pair of 76s for 152 over a par-72 course of 6,761yd.
James Tisdale from Liverpool shared seventh place on 154 with scores of 81 and 73.
Adam Glover, from Brentwood, Essex, the third Bethany College student, just made the top 10 in joint ninth position on 155 with scores of 74 and 81.
Klay Dodd (Seminole State CC) won the individual honours with 73 and 76 for 149.
Bethany College, not surprisingly won the team title by eight shots from Seminole State CC in a field of 13 teams.
DAVID McGREGOR JOINT 23rd IN CALIFORNIA
Helensburgh's David McGregor, son of the former world swimming ace Bobby McGregor, is not enjoying the form he displayed for Post University, Connecticut in previous seasons.
This week, David, pictured left in action for Post, made the long haul from the East Coast to the West Coast of the States for the Southern California Intercollegiate championship.
David finished joint 23rd in a field of 78 players - which, in itself, was not too bad a result but his scoring has gone back some way: three rounds of 79 for a total of 237 over a par-71 course of 6,794yd. Which means McGregor was 24 over par for 54 holes.
Team-mate Thomas Rees from Wales was worse. He scored 84, 83 and 84 to finish joint 53rd on 251.
I suspect the weather, even at the California venue of Mission Viejo Country Club, was not all that it might have been because even the winner, Colby Shrum (Central Oklahoma) was five over par with rounds of 75, 73 and 70 for 218 to win by one shot.
Post University (977) finished 10th of the 14 teams behind winners Central Oklahoma (884).
