ENGLISH STUDENTS FINISH
JOINT THIRD AND
FIFTH IN HAWAII EVENT
England’s Peter Richardson (Purdue University) from Carlisle and Farren Keenan (Texas University) from Middlesex finished joint third and fifth respectively in the Aloha Purdue Collegiate Invitational 54-hole tournament over a 6,885yd, Par-70 course at Kiahuna Golf Club, Kauai on Hawaii.
Richardson, 22, who had a great opening round of seven-under-par 63, had led the field on 134 after 36 holes by three shots from Keenan (69-68). Peter is on the left and Farren on the right in the above pictures.
Peter signed off with a 74 for two-under-par 208 – one shot behind Kyle Stanley (Clemon) and Drew Weaver (Virginia Tech). Freshman Kyle won a sudden death play-off.
Keenan, 23 in January, had his best tournament for some time. A last round of 72 gave him a total of 209. He and freshman Lance Lopez, also joint fifth, spearheaded the Texas Longhorns to victory in the team event with a total of 847 – six ahead of runners-up Michigan with Purdue (856) third of the nine competing colleges.
“Farren and Lance played really good golf this week,” said Texas head coach John Fields. “This tournament included some of the best teams in the country, including No 1 Alabama so I’m really proud of the guys. Farren was a major part of this victory.”
