Well done, Lucy! Oban girl's

first win in America

Scot Lucy McNulty, in her second year as a student at Brevard College, North Carolina, has scored her first golf win in the United States.

In her first tournament of the 2009-2010 American college golf season, Lucy, a former pupil at Oban High School, had rounds of 85 and 79 for a two-round total of 164.

She won the Montreat College Fall Invitational at Glen Cannon Country Club, Brevard over a 6,000yd par-72 course by one shot from Ashley Buxton (Union College). Ashley had rounds of 83 and 82.

They finished well clear of the two girls who shared third place, Morgan Morrow (Montreat College) (88-87) and Tiffany Willis (Union College) (88-87), on 175. A total of 17 players took part.

Lucy's second round is the lowest ever returned by a Brevard College female student.

Lucy inspired the Brevard College team to score their lowest ever 36-hole team aggregate of 365 of 744 but they still finished last of three behind Union College (715) and Montreat College (739).
