ROSEANNE RETIRES AFTER NINE HOLES IN UTAH

Roseanne Niven, the Scottish Under-18 match-play girls champion from Crieff, retired after nine holes of her second round in the NCAA Division 1 women's West Regional Championship at Entrada at Snow Canyon golf course, St George in Utah.
From her scores, it was evident the 18-year-old Scot, who has been a golf scholarship student at the University of California Berkeley since January, was not herself. She had scored an 84 in the first round over the 6,234yd, par-71 course and then, starting her second round at the 10th, took 48 shots to complete nine holes.
Sweden's Pernilla Lindberg (Oklahoma State) is leading the event by five shots with one round to play. Pernilla has scored a pair of 68s for six-under-par 136.
Yorkshire girl Jodi Ewart (New Mexico) has scored 71 and 75 for 146 to be sharing ninth place with the former British girls' open champion, Anna Nordqvist (Arizona State) with 72 and 74.
Ireland's Dawn-Marie Conaty (Memphis) is back in a share of 75th place on 161 with scores of 82 and 79.

MICHIGAN NIGHTMARE RUN FOR GEMMA

Glasgow's Gemma Webster, who had had a first-round 75, had a nightmare three double bogeys in seven holes during a second-round 84 in the NCAA Division 1 women's Central Regional championship at the University of Michigan course, Ann Arbor.
Gemma's 36-hole tally of 159 put her in a share of 82nd place on 159 with Ireland's Karen Delaney (Kent State) (82-77).
Jacqui Concolino (Vanderbilt) leads by one shot with one round to play after scores of 67 and 68 for seven-under-par 135.
Spain's Belen Mozo (Southern California), winner of both the British women's and British girls' open titles last summer, is sharing fifth place with 68 and 74 for 142.
Ireland's Curtis Cup player Tara Delaney is joint 27th on 149 with 75 and 74.
England's two players at Baylor University, Texas - Hannah Burke and Sian Reddick - are not having a tournament to remember at the end of a college season in which they have done well.
Hannah has had a pair of 77s for 154 and a share of 65th place; Sian has scored 83 and 81 for 164 and joint 98th place in a field of 107.

DANIELLE SHARING 10TH PLACE IN LOUISIANA

Ireland's Danielle McVeigh (Texas A&M) is sharing 10th place with one round to go in the NCAA Division 2 women's East Regional championship at University Club, Baton Rouge in Louisiana.
Danielle has scored 69 and 71 for 140 - six shots behind leader Sydnee Michaels (UCLA) (66-68).
