SCOTS STUDENTS' TOP 15 FINISH
IN WEST VIRGINIA

Graeme Robertson from Stirling and Nairn's Neil Howitt, both freshmen students at Davis & Elkins College, Elkins in West Virginia, have finished in the top 15 in a field of 72 for the WVIAC Championship at Stonewall Resort, Roanoke, West Virgina.
Robertson scored 81, 73 and 81 for an aggregate of 235 over a par-72 course of 6,726yd. He was placed joint seventh.
Neil scored 74, 86 and 79 for a total of 239 and 15th place.
A third Davis & Elgins freshman student, Thomas Parry from Goole, shared 16th place on 241 with scores of 83, 79 and 79.
Matt Hicks (West Liberty State University) was the winner with a one-over-par aggregate of 221, made up of rounds of 73, 73 and 75.
The fact that even the winner was over par would suggest that the weather had not been too kind during the tournament.
Fairmont State (924) won the team title from West Virginia State (937) with Ohio Valley State (947) third. Davis & Elkins College (970) finished seventh in a field of 15 teams.
