BIRDIES GALORE BUT JORDAN FINDLAY CAN'T
STOP THE FLOW OF BOGEYS IN TENNESSEE.
Fraserburgh's Jordan Findlay finished joint 25th in a field of 81 players for the Bank of Tennessee @ The Ridges college golf tournament today at The Ridges Golf & Country Club, Jonesborough, Tennessee.
Findlay, a third-year student at East Tennessee State University, had deteriorating rounds of 70, 72 and 74 for an aggregate of level par 216 over the 7,147yd course. In his final round Findlay had a double bogey 5 at the short third and dropped another shot at the 12th before completing a hat-trick of birdies from the 13th, 14th and 15th.
Then, Jordan undid much of the good work by bogeying the 17th and 18th.
The frustrating thing for the Buchan loon and the East Tennessee State head coach is that Findlay is shooting as many birdies as most players in the field - 13 over 54 holes in this tournament. But he just cannot stop the flow of bogeys.
The tournament was won by two strokes by Chris Paisley from Newcastle, a student at Tennessee University. Chris scored 70, 64 and 72 for 10-under-par 206.
North Carolina and Virginia Tech tied for the team title on 852 with East Tennessee State (8540 third and Kent State (856) and Tennessee (585) fourth and fifth in a field of 15 teams.
