England's Jessica Bradley from Bishop's Nympton in North Devon, a freshman student at Lynn University, Boca Raton in Florida, finished second and Scotland's Louise McGillivray, 18, from Banchory, near Aberdeen, a second-year student at Carson-Newman College, Jefferson City, Tennessee, finished third in the Flagler Fall Slam at Marsh Country Creek, St Augustine in Florida this week.
It was their best performances yet on the US women's college golf circuit.
Lynn University provide the 1-2 in the individual event and also won the team title - a double whammy they last achieved in March 2009.
Lynn freshman Samantha Smolen, an American, won with rounds of 73 and 76 for 149 - a shot ahead of Jessica Bradley who scored 74 and 76.

Louise McGillivray, pictured right, shot 77-74 for 151 to share third place.

Lizzi Over (Barry University, Miami) finished joint 30th on 162 with scores of 77-85. Lizzi comes from Forest Pines, Lincolnshire.
Two first-year students from the North-east of Scotland, Rachel Polson (Florida Tech) from Peterculter, near Aberdeen, and Megan Clyne (Montevallo) from Deeside GC, Aberdeen, finished joint 45th and joint 82nd respectively in a field of 104 players.
Rachel had rounds of 82 and 83 for 165, while Megan scored 95 and 83 for 178. Both girls have yet to reproduce the form they showed in Aberdeenshire girls' competitions but a third-place finish by Louise McGillivray - another graduate from the Aberdeenshire girl ranks - will encourage Rachel and Megan to keep plugging away and, like Louise, it may be their second season in the States before they become fully acclimatised to the American conditions.

Lynn University (617) won the team title from Carson-Newman (619) with Barry (624) third. Montevallo University from Alabama (691) finished 17th of 20.
