INVITATIONAL GOLF IN NEW MEXICO

Jordan McColl from Dundee, a first-year student at New Mexico Junior College, won the Bronco Invitational college golf tournament at the New Mexico Military Institute Golf Club, Roswell, New Mexico today.
McColl, pictured right, had rounds of 68, 72 and 69 for a seven-under-par total of 209 over the par-72, 6,652yd course.
He won by one shot from team-mates Zach Fullerton (69-69-72) and Doug Quinones (68-75-67) at the head of a field of 31 players.
Not surprisingly, New Mexico Junior College won the team event by 18 strokes from New Mexico Military Institute in a field of five teams.

English students down the field on Hawaii

English students Matthew Tweddell - whose grandfather won the British amateur title in the late 1920s - and Matthew de Moraes are both students at Hawaii Pacific University. Matthew is 6ft 2in and is a freshman student from Birmingham. Matthew is a junior (third year) student at HPU and comes from Woodford Green, London. He's a good deal shorter than Tweddell, standing 5ft 7in.
Not much between them, however, in their disappointing scores at the John Burns Intercollegiate tournament at Leilehua Golf Club, Wahiawa on Hawaii a couple of days agao. Over a 6,917yd, par-72 course, they tied for 70th place in a field of 84 players.
Tweddell scored 72, 76 and 79 for 227, De Moraes 76, 75 and 76 for the same total.
Winner was Andrea Pavan (Texas A&M) with very good scores of 70, 69 and 65 for 12-under-par 204. He won by two shots from Derek Ernst (UNLV) who had rounds of 68, 69 and 69.
Texas A&M and UNLV tied for the team title with identical totals of 836. No word of a play-off so we presume they shared the title.
Brigham Young and California, both 848, tied for third place and Hawaii Pacific were 14th in a field of 15 teams with a total of 905.
Hawaii would be a great place to get a golf scholarship but it doesn't seem to do much for their student golf teams. Hawaii University finished 13th, HPU 14th and BYU-Hawaii last of 15.
Well, you can't have everything!
