Emily Aird is in there somewhere as the Newman University women's golf team display their latest trophies.

 EMILY AIRD PLAYS PART IN THIRD

NEWMAN TEAM WIN SINCE AUGUST

Emily Aird from Perth, a second-year student at Newman University, Wichita, Kansas helped her team win a third title in four starts over the first three months of the 2014-2015 US women's college golf season.

Emily, pictured right, a former pupil of Breadalbane Academy, shot rounds of 76 and 75 for a seven-over-par total of 151  to finish joint 16th in a field of 72 players at the Oklahoma Intercollegiate at Fort Sill Golf Club, Oklahoma.
Top scorer for the Newman Jets was Londoner Josie Jenkins, a third-year student. She finished joint seventh on 148 with rounds of 77 and 71.
A third Brit on the Newman roster, Alex Patton, a second-year student from Chippenham, finished joint 30th of 154 with scores of 75 and 79.
Ivon Reijers (Redlands) was the individual winner by a five-stroke margin with quality rounds of 68 and 70 for six-under-par 138 over the 5,921yd, par-72 course.
Newman took the team title by the narrowest of margins - only one shot ahead of runners-up Midwestern State in a field of 12 teams.
It was Newman University's last tournament until next spring.
