KENT STUDENT SHARES11TH PLACE AT SAWGRASS
COUNTRY CLUB
Tom Sherreard (Georgia State), a 6ft 1in freshman from Maidstone Kent, finished joint 11th in the John Hayt Collegiate Invitational over a 6,805yd, par-72 course at TPC Sawgrass Country Club, Ponte Vedra Beach in Florida.
Sherreard had rounds of 77, 75 and 71 for a total of 223. His last round, which featured a birdie at the first hole, followed by 17 straight pars, hauled him up from a share of 27th place overnight.
Tom, pictured above, would certainly have had a top-10 finish with ease but for late disasters in his first round in which he had a triple bogey at the 14th and a double bogey at the 16th.
Team-mate Ben Taylor from Hexham, a senior student at Georgia State and another six-footer, finished in a share of 36th place on 229 with scores of 76, 75 and 78.
Kevin Chappell (UCLA) won the individual honours with a two-under-par total of 214, made up of scores of 72, 73 and 69.
Cruising to victory with a few holes to play, Kevin ran up a double bogey at the 16th and final scrambled home by one shot from John Curran (Vanderbilt) (73-71-71) with Dustin Johnson (Coastal Carolina) third on 216 (73-68-75).
Alabama (881) won the team title from Vanderbilt and Coastal Carolina (both on 891) with UAB, UCF, UCLA and Georgia State sharing fourth place on 899.
