DAVID BOOTH jt 2nd IN WORLD STUDENTS GOLF IN CZECH REPUBLIC

Spain made a clean sweep of the men's and women's individual titles AND the two team titles in the world universities golf championships which ended at Liberec in the Czech Republic today.
But there was a very good individual effort by Stirling's David Booth (pictured). He finished joint second. Great Britain team-mates Jack McDonald and Graeme Robertson came  joint 14th and 26th in the men's section.
Booth, from Rotherham, scored 71, 67, 68 and 67 for a total of 273.  David's aggregate was three strokes behind the winner, Spain's Carlos Pigem (69-64-68-69). Juan Sarasti Bernaras (Spain) and Sweden's Philip Eriksson also totalled 273.
The official website scoreboard indicates that Booth and Bernaras were placed joint second and Eriksson fourth.
There were four Spaniards in the top six finishers.
McDonald had rounds of 70, 71, 72 and 67 for 280.
Great Britain tied with Ireland on 835 as joint runners-up to men's team title winners Spain (808). South Korea (838) were fourth.
In the women's section, Stirling's Eilidh Briggs and Hannah McCook finished 15th and 34th respectively.
Eilidh scored 75, 73, 71 and 69 for 288 - 17 shots behind the winner, Spain's Camilla Hedberg (68-72-67-64 for 271). US Curtis Cup player Amy Anderson, who led by three shots with a round to go, finished second on 272 (67-69-68-68).
Hannah had rounds of 79-77-72-73 for 301.
In the women's team competition, Spain and the United States both finished at the head of the leaderboad on 545 but, judging by the website, Spain took the title with the better last round team aggregate of 134 to the United States' 136.
When the tournament website catches up with its daily summaries, we will be able to confirm this - or otherwise.
Germany (557) were third, Sweden (561) fourth, Great Britain (581) seventh and Ireland (594) 11th.
