FIFER LATIMER SCORES FIRST
WIN IN UNITED STATES

Peter Latimer from Markinch, Fife, a freshman (first-year) student at Guilford College, Greensboro, North Carolina, won his first golf tournament in the United States this week.
Peter prevailed in a three-way play-off with a par 4 at the third extra hole to win the Emory Spring Invitational college tournament at the Smoke Rise Golf & Country Club, Stone Mountain in Georgia.
He had rounds of 72 and 73 over the 6,722yd par-72 course for an aggregate of 145, which was matched by John Cummings (Greensboro) (69-76) and Jeremy Evans (Emory) (73-72).
Latimer’s college – the Quakers – finished second in the team event, four shots behind winners Methodist University.

Peter, who will be 20 in October, won the Freddie Tait Gold Medal last year, a match-play tournament over the St Andrews New Course.
He has also been boys' champion at three different golf clubs - St Andrews New, Lundin Links and Balbirnie Park. He played for the Fife boys and youths teams.
