Do you see what I see? Roseanne Niven and her caddie-brother during the British women's open amateur championship at Harlech in June (image by Cal Carson Golf Agency; click on it to enlarge).

Roseanne joint 46th in her first event of

new US college tournament season

Roseanne Niven, Laura Cutler and Kirsty O'Connor all finished down the field in the Golfweek Conference Challenge which ended on Tuesday at the Primm Valley Resort in Primm, Nevada.
Over a par-72, 6135yd course, Sweden's new European champion Caroline Hedwall (Oklahoma State) was the winner with rounds of 68, 72 and 67 for nine-under-par 207 by five shots fromn Joy Trotter (UC Irvine (73-71-68).
Roseanne, now in her fourth and final year at the University of California-Berkeley, scored 77, 80 and 76 for 233 which gave her a share of 46th place in a field of 90.
Laura Cutler, a junior (third year) student at Jacksonville State University, Alabama, from Essex finished joint 53rd on 235 with scores of 79, 75 and 81.
Former Welsh women's amateur champion Kristy O'Connor, a senior year student at Ball State University, Indiana, from Burnley, Lancashire, came joint 66th with scores of 78, 83 and 77 for 238.
Roseanne's university, California-Berkeley, finished only a shot behind team winners Pepperdine (881) with Chattanooga (883) - whose women's golf coach is a Scot, Coleen Murray - only one more shot behind in third place.
