Sandy Scott well down the field in Albuquerque

Nairn's outstanding prospect, Sandy Scott, a freshman student at Texas Tech, has not yet found his home form on the United States college circuit.

Scott shot rounds of 75, 74 and 78 for an 11-over-par total of 227 over a long par-72 course (7,555yd) and a joint 48th place finish in a field of 92 at the William H Tucker college tournament at the University of New Mexico's championship course, Albuquerque, which finished on Saturday.
Scott, pictured right, finished 17 shots behind the winner by two, Blake Cannon (Colorado State) (71-69-70 for 219).
Albuquerque is a high altitude city in New Mexico, so that had not helped the Highlander either!
