English trio in top 13 at Red River

Intercollegiate in Oklahoma


Three English students - Jessica Schiele (Redlands CC) from Grimsby, team-mate Kelly MacPhail from Manchester, and Lizi Sweetnam (Seminole State CC) from Leighton Buzzard - finished sixth, ninth and joint 13th respectively in a field of 64 players for the Red River Intercollegiate 18-hole competition at Oak Hills Country Club, Ada in Oklahoma.
Over a par-72 course of 5,858yd, freshman Jessica had an 81, Kelly, also a freshman, an 83, and Lizi, a sophomore student, had an 86. Lizi is pictured right.
Kaitlin Higginbotham, a team-mate of Jessica and Kelly at Redlands, won the individual title by two strokes with a 74, but, despite that, Redlands did not win the team award. That went to Northeastern State University (320) who finished six shots ahead of Redlands in a field of 12 teams.
