DANIEL THOMPSETT ON CREST OF A WAVE BACK IN THE USA

Daniel Thompsett returned to Rocky Mountain College last week following a three-month holiday at home during which time he won the Aboyne Club Championship by 16 shots (pictured above with the trophy) and scored his first hole in one.

This week he had to play in a 72 hole qualifier at Rocky to try to make the team and determine player ranking within the team.  The 72 holes were played over four different courses over two days. 

On the second day Daniel set a new course record at Pryor Creek Golf Club, Huntley, Montana playing the Johnny Walker course with a 10 under par 61.  He qualified for the team as number 1.
