Aberdeen-born Gemma Dryburgh, pictured, a student at Tulane University, New Orleans, finished joint eighth in a field of 93 players at the Mercedes Benz Inter-collegiate women's golf tournament at Cherokee Country Club, Knoxville, Tennessee at the weekend.
Runner-up in the British women's open amateur stroke-play championship at Prestwick before her return to America, Gemma had two par-matching rounds of 71 for a total of 142 - five shots behind the winner by three, Emily Tubert (Arkansas) (69-68 for 137).
Missouri University freshman Jess Meek from Carnoustie finished joint 25th with rounds of 73 and 74 for 147.
Jess was the highest placed of the five Missouri students in the field and Missouri finished last of 17 in the team event - which suggests that the Scot has a hard job ahead of her to lift a weak women's roster.
Brogan Townend from Blackburn, a student at Texas-San Antonio, had disappointing rounds of 77 and 75 for 152 and a share of 56th place. She is a better player than these scores suggest - or she was before she went to America.
Olivia Winning, a former Helen Holm Scottish women's open amateur stroke-play championship winner from Rotherham, enrolled at Tulane University in August and will obviously take time to find her feet.
Olivia finished T64 on 153 with a good first-round score of one-over 72 but a moderate second round of 81.
Arkansas (563) won the team title ahead of South Carolina (571) and Tulane (579). Missouri (604) finished last of 17.
