Londoner Lumsden scores first USA win

FROM THE NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY WEBSITE, ILLINOIS

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin – Buoyed by three top-10 individual performances from Londoner Ryan Lumsden, Dylan Wu and Andrew Whalen, Northwestern University, where Luke Donald was once a student, captured its first team title since 2013 at the Milwaukee Country Club Marquette Intercollegiate.

In addition to a team victory, sophomore Lumsden, pictured right,  earned his first collegiate individual title after carding three-straight rounds at 1-under 69 for a three-under-par total of 207 over a par-780 course of 7,097yd. 

There was no play-off - Lumsden shared the title with SMU's Gray Townsend.
As a team, Northwestern had a two-stroke cushion entering Monday's finale and then fired a tournament-best 4-under 276 to run away with the tournament title with a five-shot advantage at 4-under 836. 

Mississippi finished second; shooting 1-over 841, while UCLA finished third at 5-over 845.
"I am really proud of the guys and the way they competed this weekend," said head coach David Inglis, a former British boys' champion from Scotland.

 "We led from the start and had a strong finish today when we really needed to – it was a complete team performance. I am also delighted for Ryan to earn the individual win. He has worked so hard and improved so much. We knew it was only a matter of time."
Junior Dylan Wu fired his best score of the tournament with a 2-under 68 finale that played a large roll in NU extending its lead in the final round. Wu shot a team-best 10 birdies, including five on the final 18 holes en route to a seventh-place overall finish at 2-under 210.
Fifth-year senior Andrew Whalen had his best finish of the year, earning a 10^th-place standing in the individual rankings.
Scot Alex Chalk, a freshman from Castle Douglas at Seton Hall University, tied for 50th place on 231 with scores of 75, 79 amd 77.
Another Seton Hall student, Alex McAuley from Douglas, Isle of Man, finished 59th on 232 with scores of 78, 78 and 76. There were 66 players in the field.

Chicago's Big Ten Team is back in action on Oct. 14 for the Bush Cup.

Maguire Opens Strong at Windy City Classic

From the Duke coach

October 3, 2016

GOLF, Ill. – With nine birdies in two rounds, Duke University junior Leona Maguire jumped out to a hot start Monday in the 2016 Windy City Collegiate Classic.  Maguire holds a nine-under-par, 136, with 18 holes remaining at the 6,338-yard, Glen View Golf Club in Golf, Ill.

A native of Cavan, Ireland, Maguire opened the day with six birdies over 18 holes and led early in the first round.  She played bogey-free over her first 27 holes, before suffering a lone birdie on hole, No. 2, which was her 28th hole of the day.  Maguire rebounded with a birdie on the 164-yard, par three second hole and then closed the long day with a birdie on the 350-yard, par four ninth.  She carded rounds of 66 and 70 for the total of 136.

Maguire only missed one green in the first round, while hitting all 14 fairways and logging 29 putts.  She once again didn’t miss a fairway in the second round, hit 14 greens and rolled 30 putts.  Over her first 90 holes of golf this season, Maguire has missed only two fairways.

Georgia’s Bailey Tardy leads the individual action with a nine-under-par, 135, but Maguire along with Northwestern’s Hannah Kim are only one shot off the lead at eight-under-par.

Senior Sandy Choi carded rounds of 74 and 73 for a 36-hole, 147, which is tied 32nd.

Junior Lisa Maguire turned in her second-best 36-hole ledger of her Duke career Monday with back-to-back rounds of 74, which was tied for 37th at four-over-par, 148.  

Sophomore Virginia Elena Carta signed for five straight pars in the opening round, but had a tough two-hole stretch with a bogey and triple-bogey on No. 15 and No. 16 to drop to four-over-par.  Carta, a native of Udine, Italy, closed the first round strong by playing the final 11 holes at two-under-par, to finish with a 74. 

Making her collegiate debut, freshman Ana Belac notched two straight scores of 75 and is tied 50th overall.  A native of Portoroz, Slovenia, Belac closed both rounds in solid fashion playing holes 1-9 at even par over 18 holes. 

As a team, Duke led the tournament with a three-under-par score early in the first round, but two triple-bogeys and a double-bogey dropped the Blue Devils back to even-par, 288, to conclude the first 18 holes.  A three-over-par, 291, in the second round gave Duke a 36-hole ledger of 579, which was three-over-par and in sixth place.

Georgia led the field with a 12-under-par, 564, while Southern California (568), Stanford (573), Northwestern (575), Florida (578), Duke (579), Purdue (581), Iowa State (583), Arizona (583) and Oklahoma State (587) rounded out the top 10 teams.

The Blue Devils will tee off in the final round Tuesday starting at 9:15 a.m. (ET), off hole No. 1 along with Northwestern and Florida.

Adam Lumley from Coventry, a student at Mars Hill College, North Carolina, lost a three-way play-off after tieing for first place on three-over-par 139 in the Tusculum Men's Fall Invitational at Links Hill Golf and Country Club, Greenville, Tennessee.

Lumley's team-mates Harry Butler from Chigwell, Luke Challis from Nuneaton, and Callum Ritchie from Scotland (listed as from "Dunden" in the Mars Hill men's golfer roster: could that be a misprint for "Dundee?") finished T19, T19 and T37 respectively in a field of 51 players.
Butler shot 75-70 for 145, the same score as Challis who had scores of 73-72.
Ritchie totalled 153 with scores of 75-78.
Tusculum (565) won the team event ahead of Mars Hill (577) in a field of eight teams.
