Ross Milne from Aboyne, a sophomore (second-year) student at Dodge City College, Kansas - famous as being a "frontier town" in the old Wild West - came joint fourth in the National Association of Junior Colleges' national golf championship after sharing the lead with one round to go.
The 72-hole event was played over a long par-72 course (7,388yd) at Odessa Country Club, Texas and Milne, pictured, had rounds of 72, 75, 65 and 78 for a total of two-over-par 290.
His brilliant third-round 65 - the tournament lowest by anyone in the field if 117 players - included a purple patch of six birdies in a row from the first to the sixth. He also birdied the ninth hole to be out in seven-under-par 29.
Ross notched birdies Nos 8 and 9 at the 13th and 14th before he had his only slip of the day - a double bogey 7 at the long 17th.
Over the 72 holes, the Scot had 16 birdies and two double bogeys.
He finished seven shots behind the winner, William Anderson (Brevard College) who scored 71, 75, 67 and 70 for 283.
