I have played so far in three tournaments out here with my most recent one finishing this past week. It was the SCAD Fall Invitational at Wilmington Island Country Club, Savannah in Georgia.

I shot 76-80, finishing in 13th place.

COLIN FARQUHARSON ADDS:

According to the Embry Riddle women's golf roster, Hannah is actually English. She was born at Aylesbury, although St Andrews is listed as her home town.
Hannah's mum, Lindsay says:
"Hannah was born in England but is very Scottish and always has been. She has played in the Scottish close competitions and has never considered herself English, only that she happened to be born there."

Another Brit on the Embry Riddle roster is Leeds-born Sophie Olley who is in her third year. Sophie, pictured left, achieved her first top-10 finish of the season in the SCAD Fall Invitational with scores of 78 and 77 for 155 and a share of ninth place - 11 shots behind the individual winner, Alazane Urizar (SCAD), playing over her home course, which helped her head the field with two par rounds of 72 for 144.

Embry Riddle finished third in the team event with a total of 626. They were pipped for second place by Carolina Beaufort (625) but hosts SCAD Savannah were the easy winners with a team total of 600.
