Meghan beats Gemma in play-off


England's Meghan MacLaren (Florida International) beat Scotland's Gemma Dryburgh (Tulane) in a play-off for the ninth and last of the individual positions in the final stroke-play round of the NCAA Championship at Bradenton, Florida.
Florida International and Tulane were not among the 15 leading college teams who survived the third-round cut.  The leading nine players whose colleges were eliminated are allowed to play the final 18 holes before the tournament switches to team match-play for the closing stages.
MacLaren from Wellinborough and Aberdeen-born Dryburgh tied on 227 after three rounds over a tough par-72 course of 6,468yd at Concession Golf Club.
Gemma's father John said: "We have been following Gemma at the NCAA Championship. She played very well. The only area which caught her out was the fast downhill lag putts.
She finished in the top 30 over the three days she played. Unfortunately the rest of the Tulaneteam didn't play so well and Gemma won't be playing in the final knock-out rounds."

 UCLA, of whom GB and I player Bronte Law is a team member, survived the cut in the 15th and last position.The qualifying teams for the final round of stroke-play were:
Duke, South Carolina, Arizona. Tennessee, Baylor, Purdue, Stanford, Washignton, UC Davis, Northwestern, Arkansas, Texas Tech, Alabama, Wake Forest and UCLA.
Following the fourth round, the top eight teams then compete in match play for the championship, beginning Tuesday
