Watson and Davis go forward to the finals of the NCAA Division 1 women's championships with their college teams who finished joint fifth. The leading eight teams in the field of 24 teams advanced but the college golf season is over for Watton and Denver who came 19th.
GEMMA JOINT 12th BUT TULANE FAIL TO MAKE FINALS

She finished six shots behind the winner, Katerina Ruzickova (Texas A and M)
Lindy Duncan (Duke), a member of the US team to play GB and I in the Curtis Cup match at Nairn from June 8-10, came fourth on 218 but Dryburgh finished ahead of two other players who will be playing in next month's showpiece.
Northern Ireland's Stephanie Meadow (Alabama) shared 14th place on 220 (74-72-74) and her American college team-mate, Brooke Pancake, finished joint 35th on 233.
Tulane finished outwith the top eight college teams who go forward to the NCAA Division 1 women's championships, which means the college golf season is over for Dryburgh. Duke and Alabama qualified so Duncan, Meadow and Pancake will be playing in the finals.
