ROSEANNE'S LATE SLIPS COST HER

GOOD FINISH IN CALIFORNIA

California-Berkeley University student Roseanne Niven from Crieff dropped from joint 26th to a final place of tied 36th in a final of 50 for the Women's Pac-10 Conference college golf championship at Palos Verdes Golf Club, California.

Over a par-71 course of 6,060yd, 19-year-old Roseanne had scores of 79, 78 and 73 for a total of 230 - 18 shots behind the winner Paola Moreno (Southern California).

Roseanne had two double-bogey 6s in her opening round but was heading for a very good score on the final day - and a possible top-20 finish in a quality field - when she birdied the eighth and was still one under par with four to play.

A bogey at the 15th was cancelled out by a birdie at the long 16th but then the Scot dropped three shots over the last two holes - a bogey at the 17th and a double bogey 6 at the last. She was out in 34 and home in 39.
California-Berkeley (908) tied for fourth place in the team event behind runaway winners Southern California in a field of 10 teams.
