ROUND-UP OF SCOTS ON US COLLEGE CIRCUITS

Adam Lindsay lying sixth in
Midwest Championship ...
and he has a long wait
for the final two rounds

Banchory's Adam Lindsay, pictured on right, a student at Iowa Wesleyan University, will start the final two rounds of the Midwest Collegiate Conference championship in sixth place - in the spring!
It must be a unique tournament that has its first two rounds in October and its last two rounds several months later, but that's the format.
Adam had a pair of 73s for two-over-par 146 over the 6987yd, par-72 course at Finkbine Golf Club, Iowa City.The leader is Adam White (St Ambrose) with 68 and 71 for 139.

JAMIE BLAKE'S 71 OVER PGA NATIONAL
Jamie Blake from Arbroath, a student at Post University, New York State, finished in a share of 44th place in the Nova Shark Invitational college tournament over the PGA National course at Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
The event was abbreviated by rain to two rounds and Jamie just wasn't himself with a first-round 84 but his second round of one-under-par 71 was the second lowest return of the day. To score that low over such a famous course (6,806yd from the tees they were using) was a fine achievement.
Another Post University Scot, David McGregor from Helensburgh, scored 83 and 81 for 164 and a share of 66th place.
Winner was Chris Carlin (Barry University) with 70 and 72 for 142.

JACQUELINE TOP SCORES FOR GRAND CANYON
Jacqueline Sneddon from Meigle, a student at Grand Canyon University, Arizona, top scored for her college team with scores of 78 and 80 for 158 and joint seventh place in the Sonoma State Women's Invitational tournament at Santa Rosa Golf & Country Club, Santa Rosa in California.
It was a tough women's course, measuring "only" 5816yd but with a par of 73.
Jacqueline finished six shots behind the winner, Chelsea Helget (Sonoma State) who shot 75 and 77 for 152.
Grand Canyon University finished third in the team event, their third top-three finish of the autumn college golf season.

ROSS LEEDS MAKES TOP 20 IN TEXAS
Ross Leeds from Glenfarg, a student at Odessa College, Texas finished 18th in the Odessa College Inviational over a long course of some 7,338yd with a par of 72.
Ross shot 78, 72 and 73 for a creditable seven-over-par 223 total.
Team-mate Mark Penny took the individual honours with rounds of 69, 72 and 70 for five-under-par 211.
Odessa finished second to Midland College in the team event.
