Difficult to get a game for the Webber International University, Babson Park, Florida golf squad in college tournaments because they had 21 players on their male roster!
A fair number of them come from Scotland and England.
Quite a few played in the recent Titan Winter Invitational at Sun Tree Country Club, Melbourne Park, Florida.
The highest placed was Connor O'Dell, pictured above, a senior-year student from Taunton, Somerset. He finished 19th on 226 with scores of 79, 74 and 73.
Team-mate Bryan Rutherford, pictured below, a junior (third year) student  from Sevenoaks, 
Kent was closed behind in a share of 20th place on 227, improving by leaps and bounds with scores of 81, 77 and 69 ... bet Bryan was wishing there had been a fourth and even fifth round!
Also on 227 was another Webber International student, Matt Basey, a freshman from Bristol. Matt scored 76, 74 and 77.
Greg Hughes, a senior from Surrey, finished T62 on 238 (81-81-76) and Stuart Winsby, a freshman from Northern Ireland came 70th in the field of 78 with scores of 80, 81 and 81 for 242.   
Last of the Webber International squad was Jack Robinson, a freshman from London. He finished T72 on 246 with scores of 873, 81 and 82.
Joint individual winners - no mention of a play-off - were Justin Kalanquin (Florida Tech) (69-74-70) and Taylor Noel (Tampa) (73-68-72), both on three-under 213. They won by two strokes from the third-placed player.
Webber International did not do well in the team event. They finished T10 with a total of 919 in a field of 12 teams behind winners Florida Tech (880) who won by two strtokes from Central Alabama and Tampa.
