CLAIRE-MARIE BEST PLACED
STIRLING STUDENT IN FLORIDA
Stirling students Claire-Marie Carlton from Fereneze and Rachael Cassidy from Dublin were lying joint 29th and 32nd going into the fourth and final round of the 76th Dixie women’s amateur golf championship at Palm-Aire Country Club, Pompano Beach, north of Fort Lauderdale in Florida.
The only other Stirling student with a live interest in the tournament, Murrayshall Golf Club member Gavin Dear from Scone, was sharing 46th place in the men’s championship.
Strong winds made scoring difficult in the third round, although there were one or two exceptional sub-par scores.
Claire-Marie has had rounds so far of 77, 79 and 77 for a 54-hole tally of 233 over the par-71 course.
Rachel has shot 77, 78 and 79 for 234.
Florida player Mayule Tomimbang’s standard of play is dropping with each round but an opening score of 67 is standing her in good stead.
The Kissimmee player has followed that up with 74 and 76 to be on four-over-par 217. She leads by one stroke from 11-year-old Alexis Thompson from Coral Springs, Florida – the youngest player ever to compete in the championship - and Alina Lee.
Gavin Dear was in the top 10 after an opening 69 but he has since scored 77 and 75 for eight-over-par 221.
Edward Richardson from East Sussex Golf Club is the leading European player in the men’s championship after rounds of 71, 70 and 71 for a one-under-par aggregate of 212. That had him in joint ninth place, eight shots behind the succinctly named leader from Celebration, Florida – Mu Hu.
