Fraserburgh teenager finishes 73rd of 77


JORDAN FINDLAY STILL STRUGGLING
TO FIND FORM ON US COLLEGE CIRCUIT

Fraserburgh teenager Jordan Findlay just cannot get back in the groove for East Tennessee State University on the American college circuit since his summer break back home.
The former British boys champion had rounds of 85, 74 and 79 for a total of 22-over-par 238 in the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate tournament at The Ridges Golf & Country Club, Jonesborough in Tennessee.
Findlay, pictured right, was placed 73rd in a field of 77 students.
The event was won by his ETSU team-mate, another past British boys champion, Edinburgh-born Rhys Davies.
It was an eighth college win in the States for the Walker Cup player from Bridgend, South Wales.
Davies score 71, 69 and 71 for a five-under-par total of 211 which was three ahead of runner-up Philip Petit (Tennessee).
Tennessee (869) pipped East Tennessee State (870) for the team event contested by 15 colleges.

CALLUM (75) DOWN THE FIELD IN RAIN-HIT EVENT

West of Scotland Open champion Callum Macaulay from Tulliallan, a student at the University of Mississippi, finished joint 45th with a three-over-par round of 75 in the rain-shortened Squire Creek Inter-Collegiate tournament at Ruston, Louisana.
Torrential rain forced the organisers to reduce the 54-hole tournament to a one-round affair which was won by Johnny Caldwell (South Alabama) with a five-under-par 67.
Mississippi (287) finish fourth in the team event won by Sam Houston State (281) with Southeastern Louisiana and UT-Chattanooga joint second on 286 in a field of 18 teams.
