ELIZABETH SWALLOW SWOOPS FOR

THIRD WIN OF US COLLEGE SEASON

Elizabeth Swallow, from Berkshire, a second-year student at King University, Bristol in Tennessee, maintained her brilliant 2013-2014 record on the US women's college circuit with a third win in the Hilton Head Lakes Invitational at Bluffton, South Carolina on March 10 and 11.
It was Elizabeth's third top-10 finish in six successive tournaments. In fact, her lowest finish has been sixth.
She returned a pair of 76s for 152 over a par-72 course of 5,935yd which suggest the weather was not all not good for par scoring.
Swallow won by three strokes at the head of a field of 90 players.
Surprisingly, King University did not do so well in the team event, which suggests that Elizabeth does not have all that much support from her team-mates. Limestoke College and Wingate tied on 632 at the head of 18 teams. King finished seventh on 664.

ALISON KNOWLES 2nd AT HATTIESBURG

Alison Knowles, from Mexborough, South Yorkshire and a sophomore student at Louisiana-Monroe, finished second in a field of 80 players at the Lady Eagle Invitational at Hattiesburg County Club, Mississippi on March 10-11.

Alison, a winner four times on the US women's college circuit, shot rounds of 72 and 73 for a one-over-par total of 145 over a 6,111yd course.
Winner was Brandi Rodriguez (Southern Mississippi) with 70-74 for 144.
Louisiana-Monroe (625) could finish only sixth of 16 teams who were headed by Southern Mississippi (608), Memphis (611) and South Alabama (614). 

KIM BRADBURY TIES FOR 2nd PLACE

Kim Bradbury from Buxton, Derbyshire, a final-year student at Old Dominion University, finished joint second in a field of 82 players at the North Florida Invitational college tournament at Jacksonville Golf Club.

Over a par 72 course of 6,144yd, Kim, pictured, had scores of 76, 78 and 72 for a total of 10-over-par 226.
Winner by the runaway margin of eight strokes was Tiffany Chan (Daytona State) with scores of 70, 76 and 72 for two-over 218.
Another Old Dominion student, Rachel Walker, a freshman from Dumfries, finished T42 with scores of 82, 85 and 79 for 246.
Nicola Haynes (James Madison), a freshman from Newcastle, finished T50 on 247 with rounds of 87, 83 and 77.
A third Old Dominion student, Charlotte Hindmoor, a sophmore from Darlington, shot 81-83-84 for 248.
Dolores Brown (McNeese State), a freshman from Kent finished T50 on 250 with rounds of 76, 91 and 83.
A fourth Old Dominion student, Elizabeth Haycock, a senior from Birmingham, had the misfortune to be disqualified after returning scores of 74, 74 and 79 for 227. A technicality, no doubt.
Western Caroline (919) won the team title from Daytona State (930), North Florida (933), Eastern Kentucky (941) and Old Dominion (944) in a field of 14 teams.
 
 HAWAII TRIP TRIP FOR DULCIE

Mississippi State, whose Jessica Peng (70-75-72 for 217) finished second, won the team event with an 874 team total. NC State (896) were runners-up.
Kennesaw State, despite providing the individual winner, could finish only eight of 14 on 918 in the team event.
