TRIPLE BOGEY COSTS GEMMA TOP FIVE
FINISH IN LADY BUCKEYE EVENT


A triple bogey 7 at the 16th hole cost Glasgow's Gemma Webster, a student at Ohio State University, a top-five finish in the Lady Buckeye Spring Invitational over the par-72, 6228yd Ohio State Scarlet course at Columbus, Ohio.
Gemma finished with rounds of 76, 73 and 78 for seventh place on 227 in a field of 72 players. She had two double bogeys in her first round. In her final round Miss Webster birdied the long fourth but dropped shots at the second, sixth, seventh and 11th as well as the very costly 16th.
But she was the second-highest Ohio State University finisher in their own tournament.
Sara Brown (Michigan State) was the individual winner with scores of 70, 73 and 73 for 216.
Ireland international Tara Delaney, a student at Kent State, finished sixth on 225 with scores of 80, 75 and 70.
Ohio State (913) finished second to Kent State (885) in the team event contested by 12 teams.
