Anyone sitting down and choosing a Great Britain and Ireland select from the girls currently playing on the US college circuit could hardly leave out Jessica Schiele from Grimsby.
A student at Oklahoma City University, after a transfer from her previous college, Redlands, Jessica has just won a tournament for the second time in three weeks.
The latest triumph has come this week in the Bob Hurley ORU Shootout at Meadowbrook Country Club, Tulsa in Oklahoma.
Jessica, pictured above receiving the trophy, had rounds of 78, 72 and 73 for a total of 223 over a par-71, 6125yd course and won by a shot from four players on 224.
She had six birdies and 33 pars over the 54 holes. Her last win was in the Lady Chaps Invitational from September 19-21.
Welsh international Anna Carling from Vale of Glamorgan, a student at Arkansas State University, finished joint 15th with scores of 80, 73 and 80 for 233.
Scot Rachael McQueen from Troon, a freshman at McLennan College, Waco in Texas - a winner already in the few weeks she's been over there, finished joint 18th on 235 with scores of 81, 77 and 77.
Ironically, Jessica's previous US college, Redlands, won the team title with a total of 921, two shots ahead of Arkansas State. Oklahoma City (951) finished eighth of 14 which suggests that Jessica is lacking a wee bit of support from her fellow women's golf team roster at Oklahoma City.

KIMBERLEY BRADBURY jt 25th IN NEVADA

Kimberley Bradbury from Derbyshire, a student at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia, finished joint 25th in a field of 57 players at the Wolf Pack Classic at Dayton Valley Golf Club, Nevada.
Over a par-72 course of 6,146yd in windy conditions - the second round was cancelled because of gale-force winds, Kimberley had rounds of 79 and 76 for 155. She finished 12 shots behind the joint leaders, Alex Buelow (Stetson) (73-70) and Peppiina Kaija (San Francisco) (73-70).
The individual title play-off when to a fourth extra hole before being won by Peppiina, who comes from Finland.
San Francisco (590) won the team title ahad of UC Irvine (602) with Old Dominion (630) ninth of 10.

LOUISE McGILLIVRAY JT 20TH IN MYRTLE BEACH INTERCOLLEGIATE

Louise McGillivray from Banchory (Carson-Newman University, Jefferson City, Tennessee) and Steph Peareth from Durham (Pfeiffer University, North Carolina) finished joint 20th and 24th respectively in a field of 113 playeres for the Myrtle Beach Intercollegiate tournament at Sea Trail Golf Links, Sunset Beach, North Carolina.
Louise had rounds of 79 and 82 for a total of 161 over the par-72, 5,888yd course. This was one of her highest finishes since she went to the States from Banchory.
Steph scored 78 and 84 for 162.
Winner was Dana Watkins (UNC-Pembroke) with 77 and 71 for 148.
UNC-Pembroke also won the team title with a 618 total. Carson-Newman (631) finished fourth of 21 teams.
