SHE’S GOING TO THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP

Jodi Ewart from Yorkshire, a student a the University of New Mexico, ran up a double bogey 6 at her very last holes after birdies at the third, seventh and 13th had her gunning for a top three or four place in the women’s West Regional championship at Estrada at Snow Canyon golf course, St George in Utah.
