scoreboards at Fairmont St Andrews
The 12th BUCS students' Fife tournament got under way today (Friday) with changeable conditions at the Fairmont St
Andrews' Torrance course.
With the course in fantastic condition but a
challenging wind, the competitors were tested throughout their rounds,
although speed of play was the biggest mental challenge for the players.
In the women’s competition,
Gemma Batty (Stirling), pictured left, managed six birdies in her round to join Ireland's Sinead
Sexton (Stirling), pictured right, at the top of the leaderboard after both recorded one-
over-par 75s.

With rounds averaging over 5
hours, slow play plagued the men’s side of the competition and left one
group to come back in the morning to finish their round.
The round of
the day came from the last group to finish as Chris MacLean (pictured) made light
of the darkening conditions, birdieing two of the last four holes on his
way to a two-under-par 70.
Safely in the clubhouse after earlier tee
times were Riccardo Cellerino (Highlands and Islands) and Sean Flanagan
(Maynooth), both with very solid rounds to sit on level par 72 and one over
par 73 respectively, ahead of a group of five players at two-over 74.
Among the highlights of the day was Jordan Hood’s round of 75, which included a 10 on the second hole but saw the Maynooth student him come home in three-under 33.

Saturday’s second round
sees play move to the Kittocks Course and with more rain scheduled,
patience and mental strength are likely to determine the leaders at the
close of play.
