James Byrne (70) gets under par on Hawaii last day

James Byrne finished his first US college tournament of the year on a high in Hawaii after being 20 over par for the first two rounds of the Amer Ari Invitational event.
On the last day, the Arizona State University third-year student from Banchory showed his true form with a two-under-par 70 over the 6,913yd Mauna Lani North course on the Kohala Coast.
James' first two rounds had been 84 and 80 so his final total of 234 was 18 over par.
He tied for 85th place with a notable such as Peter Uihlein (Oklahoma State), No 5 in the R&A World Amateur Golf Rankings, alongside him on that mark with rounds of 80, 75 and 79.
In his final round, Byrne, starting at the 13th, had birdies at the long 15th, the third, the long seventh and, to cap his "comeback" an eagle 3 at the 10th in halves of 35.
Bobby Hudson (Texas) was the individual winner with scores of 70, 73 and 66 for seven-under-par 209, one shot ahead of Brooks Koepka (Florida State).
Stanford (866) won the team title by three shots from joint runners-up Oregon and Washington.
Arizona State (889) finished joint 10th of 22 competing teams.
