JODI STILL TOP-RANKED BRITISH PLAYER
ON US WOMEN'S COLLEGE CIRCUIT

Eight of the top 20 players on the United States women's college circuit come from Europe.
The top-ranked British player is Jodi Ewart from Middleham, Yorkshire and a freshman student at New Mexico University.
In the Golfweek rankings issued earlier this week, Jodi was No 19 behind the top-ranked US Curtis Cup player, Amanda Blumenherst (Duke).
The highest-rated Scot is Gemma Webster (Ohio State) in 112th place.
The rankings were compiled before the 2005 Irish girls champion Danielle McVeel from Kilkeel, Northern Ireland - a freshman student at Texas A&M - scored her first win and Hannah Burke (Baylor) from Welwyn Garden City finished runner-up in a different event so they will rise from their current 89th and 151st positions in the next revision by Golfweek.
Here's our list of the top-ranked players, highlighting the Europeans. If you know somebody who has been missed out, please E-mail us.
