HEATHER HELPS ELON UNIVERSITY SCORE 

RUNAWAY TEAM TITLE VICTORY

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Monifieth's Heather Munro, a freshman student at Elon University, North Carolina, finished T10 in a field of 84 at the Eagle Invitational
college tournament at the weekend - and her performance helped Elon to win the team title by the runaway margin  of 17 strokes.
Over a par-72 course at Stoneybrook Golf Club, Fort Myers in southwest Florida, Heather peaked early in the 54-hole event with a 72 but she had to settle for subsequent rounds of 78 and 80 for a total of 230.

Munro, pictured, struggled in an outward half of six-over 42 with a triple bogey 8 at the second hole and a double bogey 6 at the sixth.
But she kept her nerve and battled on, scoring birdies at the fourth, 11th and 12th. Heather came home in 38.
There were three  other Brits in the field - Georgia Price of the host university, Florida Gulf Coast, and the Arkansas State University pair of Megan Garland from Goole, Yorkshire and Oxfordshire's Abi Laker.
Georgia, from Bude in England, finished eighth on 228 with scores of 75, 77 and 76.
Megan finished T13 on 231 (80-73-78) while Abi had a tournament she will wish to forget, finishing 73rd on 264 with rounds of 80, 91 and 93. Abi is a much better player than these scores suggests and she will just have to put it down as a bad day at the office - and move on.
The tournament's individual honours were shared on 221 by joint winners Athika Ruenreong (Toledo) (75-72-74) and Tiffany Chan (Daytona State) (74-73-74).
Elon University had four players in the final top 10, which explains why they won the team title by 17 strokes from Toleda and Daytona State who were joint runners-up in a field of 14 teams. 

PAUL DUNNE T15 FINISH AT SUN TRUST GATOR 
 
Ireland's 2015 Walker Cup team candidate, Paule Dunne, in his final few months as a student at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, finished T15 in a field of 75 players at the Sun Trust Gator Invitational at Gainesville, Florida.

Paul, from Greystones, Ireland, finished 10 strokes behind the winner by two, Claudio Correa (South Florida) (65-73-67 for five-under 205).
J J Grey, a 6ft 4in third-year student from Kent at Georgia State, shot 75, 70 and 75 for a T33 finish on 220.
South Florida (835) won the team title aherad of Arkansas (845) and Florida State (845).
Alabama-Birmingham finished 10th on 883.
