Scottish students' tournament final totals at Fairmont St Andrews
Stirling students Maclean and Batty retain Fife
titles at Fairmont St Andrews
The final round of the
12th BUCS/SSS Fife Tournament was underpinned by low scoring and,
almost, a dry day. With valuable Order of Merit points available, not to
mention the title itself, players brought their best game to the
Torrance course.
Stirling students Chris Maclean (pictured right) and Gemma Batty repeated their wins of last year in the tournament.
The women’s competition
saw the final group extend their gap to the rest of the field with very
solid golf from each of them. Lieve van Veggel (St. Andrews) shot a
level par 74 to finish the tournament in 3rd place at twelve over.
Sinead Sexton (Stirling) had another very solid level par round and at
one stage was only one shot off the lead.
However, a bogey on 15 ended
her challenge and she finished in 2nd place on nine over.
The winner of
the competition, edging Sinead by 2 shots, was Gemmy Batty (Stirling), pictured left.
Gemma’s two under front nine featured four birdies and a solid one over
38 coming back was enough to secure herself the title, her second Fife
Tournament success in a row.
The set up of the front
nine saw a number of the leading men’s players attempt to put pressure
on overnight leader Chris Maclean (Stirling). While the back nine, and
some very challenging rain, put paid to the majority of the challengers,
John Murphy (Maynooth) recorded a round of the day 70 to move himself
up to 5th place. Alasdair McDougall (Stirling) had a third solid round, a
73 leaving him at four over and in fourth place.
The first of the
podium positions was taken by Matthew Myers (St Andrews) who was one of
three players to shoot one under 71s, his leaving him three over for the
tournament.
However, the overnight top two players worked hard to see
of those challengers and while Sean Flanagan (Maynooth) was never quite
able to put real pressure on the leader, he did enough with a par at the
last to secure second place at two over par.
The winner, and stand-out
player since his two under 70 in the dark on the first day, was Chris
Maclean, who shot another under par round, with a 71 to leave him one
under for the tournament and retaining the title he won last year.
