 Calum Hill from Kinross wins Rocky  

Mountain title by five strokes

NEWS RELEASE FROM WESTERN NEW MEXICO UNIVERSITY
GOODYEAR, Arizona–
Final-year student at Western New Mexico University, All-American team selection Calum Hill, pictured above, from Kinross, Scotland, continued his domination on the Division II field of the US men's college golf circuit this spring by rolling to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference individual title by five-strokes. 
Hill was later named the Conference's Golfer of the Week. 
Western New Mexico  ended up fifth as a team at the Golf Club of Estrella on Tuesday.
The Mustangs had already been eliminated by Colorado Mesa in the first round of the medal/match play RMAC Championship, but all eight teams played both 36 holes of stroke-play on Monday and Tuesday to decide the individual champions. 

UC-Colorado Springs defeated Colorado School of Mines to win the RMAC match-play team tournament and they also finished top overall with a 584 to win the stroke-play team title by 13 strokes.
Calum Hill was untouchable in a field of 44 golfers. If his first- round, three-under 69 wasn't enough, he began to shoot near his career-best numbers when he carded a five-under final round 67 for a 136 total - which included 10 birdies and was five strokes better than his previous best two-round total in America. 

This gave the Scot 13 rounds below par this year and his 72.5 scoring average coming in the tournamengt will continue to go down.
Another Western New Mexico final-year student, All-American selected Tom Neve from Epsom was just outside the top-10 coming in 11th with scores of 74-76 for a 150.  He collected six birdies 
A third final-year WNMU student, Daniel Young from Cheshie had rounds of 80 and 79 for 159, tieing for 31st place.
Second-year student Ross White from Dollar shot a pair of 86s fpr 1172 to finish 43rd.
WNMU had to play the second round without third-year All-American Harry Wetton from Bedford. He had to withdrew due to an injury after opening with a 77.

The Mustangs will now wait for the NCAA Championship selection show to see if they will make the regional field. The show will take place this Friday, Apr. 22 at 4 p.m local time.
The top 10 teams from both the South Central and West Regionals will make up the 20 teams that will participate in the Super Regional May 1-3 hosted by WNMU at the NMSU Golf Course. The Mustangs are in good shape, currently third in the latest rankings.
