Hannah Lovelock plays in
US women's college golf
history-making event

Hannah Lovelock from Surrey, a freshman student at the University of Missouri, can dine out for years to come, having this week been a competitor in the lowest-scoring tournament in the history of women's college golf in the United States.
It was the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown at Boulder Creek Golf Club, Boulder City.
Maybe a golf ball flies longer and straighter in the state of Nevada. How else can you explain that Pepperdine University from Malibu, California set an all-time women's college record of 41 under par in winning the team event ... the top 10 teams all had sub-par totals for the 54-hole event ... Lisa McCloskey (Pepperdine), the individual winner, was 17 under par, and won it by only one shot from Therese Koelbaek (UNLV) and Cindy LaCrosse (Louisville) ... and the top 29 individuals all finished under par.
Lisa McCloskey became the first player ever to break 200 in a 54-hole tournament on the US women's college circuit.
Former Surrey champion Hannah Lovelock, pictured above, totalled four-over-par 220 with scores of 73, 72 and 75, which is not bad scoring at all under "normal" circumstances. But these were not normal circumstances and Hannah finished "only" joint 51st in a good-class field of 92 players.
The course measured 6,238yd, which is more than a "pitch-and-putt" lay-out, with a par of 72.
