SCOT TOP SCORES FOR NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
BOGEY AT LAST COSTS JOSH JAMIESON
TOP 20 FINISH AT SKOKIE, ILLINOIS
Josh Jamieson from St Andrews, the Scottish boys'stroke-play champion in 2011, top scored for Northwestern University's squad of seven players in the Windon Memorial Classic which ended at Evanston Golf Club, Skokie, Illinois on Monday.
Third-year student Jamieson, pictured above, had a 54-hole aggregate of four-over-par 214 (72-71-71) and finished joint 23rd in a field of 81 players over a par-70 course of 6,793yd. A bogey at the very last hole cost the Scot a top-20 finish.
"I played badly in the final round , but I was able to recover and save a lot of strokes," Jamieson said "I'm happy that my bad rounds are 72s and 71s rather than 77s or 78s. I wasn't really scaring the hole with my approach shots and I had a lot of 40ft birdie putts."
Tulsa's Colton Staggs was the individual winner with a total of five-under 205 in which he equalled Luke Donald's course record of seven-under 63 in the final round.
Northwestern University is Donald's alma mater.
CRAIG STEPHEN 76 ON DEBUT
Craig Stephen, pictured left, from Torphins, a freshman student at Brevard College, North Carolina, shot a four-over-par 76 in his debut on the US college golf circuit.
He was playing in the Kiawah Island Invitational which was cut to one round when bad weather forced the cancellation of the second round the following day.
Stephen was placed joint 59th in a field of 90.
Another Scot in the field, Cameron Buist from Dunblane, a second-year student at Belmont Abbey College, Charlotte, North Carolina, finished joint sixth on 69.
Winner with a 67 was Corey Griffin (Armstrong Atlantic State).
