Curtis Cup team place contenders Hayley Davis (Baylor) from Dorset and Bronte Law (UCLA) from Cheshire did their selection prospects no harm at all in finishing second and joint third in the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge women's college tournament over 54 holes at Palos Verdes Golf Club, California.
Over a par-71 course of 6,017yd, Hayley, pictured right, strung together rounds of 71, 70 and 73 for a two of one-over 214, finishing seven shots behind the all-the-way leader Annie Park (Southern California) who shot 67-67-73 for six-under 207.
