FIONA LIDDELL FINISHES T5 IN BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP
Former Scottish U18 girls champion Fiona Liddell, now a student at Baylor University, Texas, finished T5 in the Big 12 Women's Conference Championship at Dominion Country Club, San Antonio, Texas on Sunday.
She had rounds of 74, 76 and 70 for a four-over-par total of 220 over the par-72 course (6263yd).
Baylor team-mate Dylan Kim was the individual winner with 71-75-68 for two-under 214 - but, despite having two finishers in the top five, Baylor did not win the team title because the three other players in the Baylor team finished T31, T41 and T41. Texas (885) took the team title ahead of Iowa State (892) and Texas Tech (894). Baylor (900) finished fifth of the nine competing teams.
Kansas State, whose line-up included Chloe Weir from Belfast and Connie Jaffrey from Kilwinning, finished eighth of nine with a 907 total. Individually, Chloe Weir finished T20 on 226 (80-72-74) and Connie Jaffrey was close behind on 227 for T22 place with rounds of 76, 76 and 75.
GOOD START BY NICOLA ROBERTSON
Nicola Robertson (King University), a third-year student from Dunblane and a member at Stirling Golf Club, has made a good start to the Conference Carolina's Championship at Cutter Creek GC, Snow Hill in North Carolina.
Nicola birdied the second, sixth and 13th in matching the par of 71, one shot behind the leader, Kaitlyn Gibbon (Belmont Abbey).
Another King student, Samantha Taylor from Newcastle, shot a 76 for T7 position in a field of 53 players. King and Mount Olive are tied for first place in the team event.
DENVER TRIO IN THE NEBRASKA MIX
Denver University's three British students, Jessica Carty from Holywood, Belfast, Sophie Newlove from Nottingham, and Lauren Whyte from St Andrews, were in the mix in a field of 45 player at the end of the first day of the Summit League Women's Championship at Arbor Links, Nebraska.
Over a par-72 course of 6,142yd, Carty has a 72 to be in second place, three behind leader Megan Mingo (South Dakota State). Sophie Newlove is in third place with a 74 and Lauren Whyte is T4 with a 75.
Even so, Denver (296) lead the team event by only one shot from South Dakota State.
