WORLD UNIVERSITY CHAMPIONSHIPS
GOOD DAY FOR AMI STORY WITH
ONE-UNDER 71IN SWITZERLAND
FROM Dr ROB MACPHERSON
Thursday was another tough day for both the British Men's and Women's Teams at the 15th World University Golf Championships at Crans-sur-Sierre in Switzerland, as both slipped out of medal contention and moved the wrong way down the field.
An exceptional performance from Ami Storey (Univ of Northumbria; Close House), pictured, in shooting 71 (-1)
was unable to bolster the Women's Team
struggling with injury and illness: Katie
Bradbury (Univ of Exeter; Cottrell Park) adding 80 (+8) to her
overnight total; and Hannah McCook (Univ of Stirling; Abernethy)
added an 83 (+11) to her previous rounds.
Ami shot five birdies in her round, the highlight being a 25ft
downhill double-breaker for 2 at the tricky island green par 3 13th.
Ami said "I really enjoyed the course today and thought it was a
very good test of golf. I played well and hope that I can finish the
week on a high".
The GB women's team remain tenth after three rounds, behind
Spain, the United States and Japan.
For the men, Laurie Potter (Univ of Exter; Minchinhampton) was
the best scorer with a 75 (+3) for a +5 total - however this was
some distance behind a brilliant round of 64 (-8) by Gerardo Ruiz
(Mexico) who now leads the competition overall on -9 from
overnight leaders Emilio Cuaetero (Spain) on -8 and Gavin Green
(Malaysia) on -5.
Craig Chalmers (Univ of Strathclyde; Cawder) struggled early on and, despite a one under par second nine, could only manage a 77 (+5).
Andrew Wilson (Univ of Northumbria; Darlington) also struggled in
the early morning sunshine, finishing with 79 (+7), the same score
as fourth player Tom Beasley (Univ of St Andrews; Hunstanton).
The British Men's team have slipped to tenth overall, behind leaders Spain, second placed Japan and third placed Canada. The competition concludes on Friday.
