Good start in US by Melissa Siviter from Enville

Melissa Siviter from Enville, a freshman student at Belmont Abbey College, North Carolina, finished joint ninth in her first competition in the United States.
She had rounds of 76 and 80 for a total of 156 over the Pete Dye Course at TPC Sawgrass (Par 72, 6,007yd).
Team-mate Carley Warrington from Bradwell shared 20th place in a field of 80 players with rounds of 79 and 81 for 160.
Winner by eight strokes was Erin Misheff (Ashland University) with scores of 72 and 70 for 142.
Ashland (626) won a very tight at the top team event from Newberry (627) with Belmont Abbey (629) third in a field of 15 teams.

Emma Gilmore from Moylough, Ballinaside, Ireland, a 22-year-old student at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia, tied for 13th place with a round of 73 in the Women's Great Smokies Tournament at Waynesville Inn Golf Resort.
The second and third rounds were washed out.

Former Welsh women's amateur champion Kirsty O'Connor (Ball State University, Indiana) tied for 14th place with rounds of 75 and 76 for 151 in the Cardinal Classic at The Players Club, Yorktown, Indiana over a par-72 course of 6,248yd.
Emily Podzielinski (Eastern Michigan) won with rounds of 72 and 69 for three-under-par 141.
Eastern Michigan (591) won the team title ahead of Ball State (598) with Grand Valley State (599) third in a field of 16.

David McGregor, whose father Bobby McGregor was a world-class swimmer, finished joint 11th in the North-east men's intercollegiate championship at Wintonbury Hills Country Club, Bloomfield, Connecticutt.
Over a par 70 course of 6,711yd, David, from Helensburgh, had disappointing rounds of 75 and 77 for 15-over-par 152. Team-mates Lee Wanklyn from England came joint 26th with 83 and 73 for 156 while Gavin Wilson from Ladybank, Fife finished joint 39th with 78 and 82 for 160.
Obviously too early in the season for the Post University team who have had two good college golf seasons recently.
