AINLEY TOP BRIT AT RAIN-HIT PEACH BELT
It must have been something of a record when EIGHT British and Irish students played in the rain-shortened Peach Belt Conference Championship at Callaway Gardens, Mountainview, Pine Mountain, Georgia on April 19.

Jordan Ainley (Lander University), pictured above, a freshman from Hampshire, finished T12 with a 74.
Nicholas Ward (Georgia Southwestern), a freshman from Eastbourne, finished T17 on 75.
Oliver Van Nairn (Lander), a junior student from Middlesex, finished T22 on 76.
Ryan Haskell (Clayton State), a junior from Newport, Wales, and Fraser Johnston (Georgia SW), a freshman from Port Seton, and Kyle Godsman (South Carolina-Aiken), pictured below, a senior from Hopeman, Morayshire, all tied for 28th place with 77s.
Robert Prior (Lander), a junior from Surrey, and Keith Egan (Clayton State), a sophomore from Newbridge, Ireland, shared 38th place on the 78 mark.
A total of 55 players took part and the individual winner was one of Godsman's team-mates at South Carolina-Aiken, Brandon Robinson-Thompson, who shot a four-under-par 68.
South Carolina-Aiken (291) claimed the team honours ahead of Georgia College (293)
Clayton State (301) came fifth, Lander (302) sixth and Georgia SW (304) joint seventh of the 11 teams.
