ESSEX GIRL'S T11 FINISH IN GEORGIA




Essex girl Georgina Blackman, a third-year student at Western Kentucky University, finished just outside the top 10 this week in the Idle Hour Collegiate tournament at Idle Hour Golf Club, Macon in Georgia.

Georgina tied for 11th place in a field of 69 with rounds of 74, 77 and 74 for a total of 225 - 12 behind the winner by three shots, team-mate Mary Joiner with scores of 76, 71 and 66 for three-under 213.

Ashleigh Greenham (Rutgers), a third-year student from London, finished T25 on 229 with scores of 79, 74 and 76.

Despite the efforts of Mary Joiner and Georgina Blackman, Western Kentucky did not win the team title. With the three others in the team finishing nearer the bottom of the returns, Western Kentucky finished only 5th of 12 with a total of 902. Mercer (897) were the winners, two shots ahead of joint runners-up Southern Mississippi and Toledo.

Rutgers (917) were placed eighth.
