How does one improve by 10 shots from one round to the next?
Answer, if you are Aberdeen's Megan Clyne, now a student at Montevallo University, Alabama, is to sort out your putting.
Apparently, Megan had six three-putts in marking up a score of 82 in the Peach Belt Women's Conference Championship at Callaway Gardens, Lakeview in Florida.
Then, after some intensive work on the practice putting green, Megan slashes her score down to a 72 in the second round for a total of 152 over a par-71 course of 5,849yd.
The Scot finished eighth in a field of 35 players.
Interesting to think that if Megan had put together TWO 72s and not just one, she would have tied for victory in the event with Kristen Sammarco (Armstrong Atlantic University) who won the individual title by five shots with a total of 144, made up of two widely contrasting scores ... a six-under 65 following by an eight-over 79.

The highest placed Brit in the conference championship  was Jenna Birch (Armstrong Atlantic), pictured left, a sophomore (second-year) student from Fleetwood.

Jenna scored 79 and 73 for 152 and a joint sixth finish.

Jenna's good effort help Armstrong Atlantic win the team title. Montevallo came sixth of seven.

A second English-born student in the field, Emma Breen, a team-mate of Megan's at Montevallo, had rounds of 85 and 78 for 163 and a T20 finish. Emma comes Swindon and is in her third year at university.
