Two English-born students, Hannah Burke and Sally Hinton (pictured right), shared 13th place in a big field of 107 players for the Rio Verde Invitational women’s college tournament over the 6,277yd, par-72 Quail Run course at Rio Verde Golf Club, Arizona.
Hertfordshire’s Hannah, who helped her college, Baylor University, Texas, to win the team title, had rounds of 76, 76 and 73 for a total of 225.
Starting the last day in joint 22nd place, Hannah was able to lift herself up nine spots on the leaderboard with birdies at the second and 15th to almost cancel out bogeys at the fifth, seventh and 11th in halves of 37 and 37.
On the same mark was Sally Hinton (Missouri State) from Bridgnorth, Shropshire with improving scores of 76, 75 and 74. Sally had six birdies over the first 36 holes but she could squeeze out only one more, at the 12th, in her final round. She bogeyed the fifth, 15th and 17th in halves of 37.
Stacey Rodger from Mile Oak, Sussex, a team-mate of Sally Hinton, improved from joint 55th to a final placing of equal 40th on 231 with scores of 79, 77 and 75. She had birdies at the fourth, ninth, 16th and 18th in final halves of 38 and 37.
Sian Reddick (Baylor) from Folkestone, was joint fourth in the early stages of the tournament, subsided to a share of 55th place on 235 with scores of 72, 79 and 84.
Sian’s catastrophic last round had halves of 39 and 45. She had a triple bogey 8 at the 14th in the middle of a desperate run which saw her drop nine shots to par between the 11th and 17th holes.
Allison Martin (Baylor) won the individual honours with 69, 72 and 71 for four-under-par 212. She won by three shots from Sara Wikstrom (Arkansas-Little Rock) (73-70-72).
Baylor (886) won the team event from Arkansas-Little Rock (889) and Toledo (892) with Missouri State (900) a creditable fourth of the 18 colleges competing.
