CHLOE GOADBY WINS THE FIFE STUDENTS OPEN TOURNAMENT

Irishman Ronan Mullarney (Maynooth University) beat Monty Scowsill (Exeter) and Robert Foley (Stirling) in an exciting play-off climax to the men's 54-hole competition at the 13th Fife open students tournament over the Kittocks course, Fairmont St Andrews.

St Andrews native Chloe Goadby (Stirling University) took the spoils in the women’s competition ahead of a tense battle for the runner-up placings between St Andrews’ Lieve van Veggel and Kirsten Brown and Stirling’s Jen Saxton.

 In the women's individual competition, Chloe Goadby (pictured right with trophy) started with a three-stroke lead but was pushed all the way by Kirsten Brown (St Andrews) who moved into a tie for the lead until a double bogey at the 16th took the pressure off Goadby.

Earlier, Lieve van Veggel had shot a level par 74 to set the clubhouse lead at +13 and only Goadby was able to beat that, finishing at +8. Both Jen Saxton (Stirling) and Brown matched Van Veggel but, on countback, Saxton took third with Brown fourth.

In the women’s team competition, Van Veggel’s round of the day wasn’t quite enough to see St Andrews I home, Stirling I taking the team prize by two shots.

STIRLING UNIVERSITY WOMEN TOP OF THE CLASS IN CONNECTICUT

Left to right: Chris Purdie (assistant coach), Emily Laws, Chloe Goadby, Gemma Batty (capt), 
Hazel MacGarvie, Mirren Fraser and Dean Robertson (head coach)

Stirling University's women's golf squad provided the individual winner, Chloe Goadby from St Andrews, and the overall team champions by a 10-stroke margin at the Yale Intercollegiate women's tournament at New Haven, Connecticut.
This success comes hardly on the heels of an excellent performance at the same venue by the Stirling men's team in the Macdonald Cup.
Stirling University men's head coach, former Walker Cup player Dean Robertson, believes the Stirling women's triumph is the first by an overseas university at an American NCAA tournament.
The leading placings in the 15-team event, in which the final day's play was rained off, were:
580 Stirling
590 Lamar
594 Delaware, Harvard.
595 Charlotte
598 Seton Hall
601 Yale
602 Boston College
603 Princeton
607 Albany
612 Penn

Chloe Goadby had rounds of 71 and 69 for two-under-par 140, heading a field of 90 top US women's college golfers by three strokes.
Stirling team-mate and former Scottish U18 girls champion Hazel MacGarvie, the first-round leader with a sparkling 68, finished joint second on 143 after a second-round 75.
Gemma Batty was another Stirling top-10 finisher. She had two rounds of 73 for 146 and a joint ninth placing.

Leading women's individual totals:
140 Chloe Goadby (Stirling) 71 69.
143 Hazel MacGarvie (Stirling) 68 75, Maya Walton (Princeton) 71 72
144 Elodie Chapelet (Lamar) 70 74, Michelle Xie (Harvard) 72 72.
145 Madison Barnett (Charlton) 74 71.
146 Gemma Batty (Stirling) 73 73, Belinda Hu (Harvard) 76 70.

Other Stirling totals:
151 Emily Laws 73 78 (T29)
160 Mirren Fraser 80 80 (T71).

Dean Robertson added:
"Team cohesion and superb preparation, given the Stirling men's success in the McDonald Cup last week, helped the women's team to such a tremendous achievement.
"Special mention goes to Chloe Goadby who was victorious in the individual tournament with a total score of two-under-par and who continues to grow in stature in the women's game. Freshman Hazel MacGarvie came a close joint 2nd and is a massive talent waiting to be nurtured."

The Stirling University men's team provided the first three in the Macdonald Cup men's event:
207 Robert Foley (Stirling) 72 66 69.
210 Laird Shepherd (Stirling) 71 69 70, Jordan Sundborg (Stirling) 68 70 72.
Other Stirling student scores and placings in a field of 81 players were:

228 Michael Lawrie 77 76 75 (T50)
233 Alasdair McDougall 77 77 79 (T61)

Despite achieving the individual 1-2-3, Stirling were pipped by one shot by the Yale University A squad in the team event. Yale also had three players in the top nine but also five in the top 20 and six in the leading 30. That added up to a one-point advantage over Stirling in the leading placings. Third-placed Harvard finished 21 strokes behind Stirling.
Leading placings in the 14-team men's event:
852 Yale A
853 Stirling University
874 Harvard
883 Yale B
885 Princeton, Central Connecticut.

MATTHEW MYERS AND JEN SAXTON WIN STUDENT TITLES AT BLAIRGOWRIE

Jen Saxton - Photo courtesy of Colin Farquharson

Matthew Myers (St Andrews) secured his first Students' Tour win of the season after a 3 under par 69 gave him victory by six shots in the men’s event of the Autumn Trophy over Blairgowrie Golf Club's Lansdowne course today (Tuesday).
Jen Saxton (Stirling) took the honours in the women’s event, her overnight lead of nine shots proving too much for the opposition to make up on the final day.

With a very tight leaderboard at the start of the day, the final 4 men’s groups knew that it would take a low round to come out victorious. Luckily, while the wind was still strong the conditions on day three were far more conducive to making that happen.

Myers made the most of this, a two under par front nine giving him a two shot lead at the turn that he didn’t relinquish.
Indeed, he was only of only two players to come back under par (honourable mention to perennial tour challenger James Glenn (Durham) who was predictably strong over the final round with a one under 71), a one under 35 giving him a total of 69 and a one under total for the tournament.
Graeme Greer (SRUC) shot a solid level par back nine to sign for a 73 and give him second place on countback from Bojesen.

In the men's team event, Bojesen and Myers’ efforts ensured that St Andrews I comfortably held off the challenge of Stirling II to take home the title, with support from Peter Kerr and George Burns, celebrating the latter’s 21st birthday in style.

With Saxton’s performance in round 2 it appeared at the start of play that the challenge was going to be who could finish second and third. When she shot an equal best front nine of 37 those predictions seemed to have been spot on, with Lieve van Veggel (St Andrews) and Marie Danielsson (St Andrews) failing to make any headway and dropping one shot to Saxton.

However, at the turn van Veggel came to life with a great level par back nine putting some pressure onto Saxton as bogeys on 10 and 11 threatened to open up the race.
A birdie at 15 offset van Veggel’s birdie on the previous hole and despite a 6 at the last Saxton was able to secure victory by four strokes. Van Veggel’s effort were enough to secure her a solid runner up spot, while Alexa Hammer (St Andrews) won the best of the rest competition to finish 3rd.

With Hammer, van Veggel and Danielsson in their line-up, St Andrews I had more than enough for the other teams, defeating Stirling I by nine shots.

Liam Johnston and Fern Clark top of the class in Stirling International at Fairmont

By BEN PHILIP

Liam Johnston (Scottish Golf) and Fern Clark (St Andrews), the overnight leaders, maintained their dominance over their respective fields to claim the Stirling International titles, the first event of the new SSS/BUCS Student Tour season.

Heading into the final day at Fairmont St Andrews Torrance course,  Johnston, pictured right,  enjoyed a one-shot lead over Robert Foley (Stirling) and after they both dropped shots at second, Liam began to assert his class with an eagle at the third.

Three more birdies followed on the 4^th, 6^th, and 7^th, to take him out in 32 and he came home in 35 for a 67 and a seven-under total of 209. That gave Johnston a victory margin of nine strokes from runner-up Craig Howie (Scottish Golf).

John Paterson signed off with a 73 for third place on 219. 

These strong Scottish Golf performances saw them comfortably win the men's team competition with an 864 totals, 37 shots ahead of the Stirling first team (901) with St Andrews 1 in third place on 918.

  

On women’s side of the competition, Fern Clark (St Andrews), pictured left, enjoyed a four- stroke lead at the start of the day and despite dropping four shots in the opening three holes, was never in real trouble as her competitors failed to take advantage of a player looking to secure her first SSS/BUCS Tour event.

A solid stretch around the turn ensured that Clark signed for an 82 and a four-stroke victory with a six-over total of 228. 

Cassie Kneen (St Andrews) finished  runner up in her tour debut with an 82 for 232.

Marie Danielsson, with an 80 for 237, finished third and completed a St Andrews' clean sweep of the top three places.

Kneen helped the St Andrews second team (458) upset their first team, finishing 16 strokes clear to win the women's team competition. Stirling 1 (478) finished third.

Liam Johnston and Fern Clark lead after Day 2 of Stirling Students' International at St Andrews

By BEN PHILIP
High winds swept across the Torrance course at Fairmont St Andrews for the second round of the 7th Stirling International as Fern Clark (St Andrews) and Liam Johnston (Scottish Golf) rose to the top of the leaderboards.

The women’s competition saw Clark (pictured above) establish a four stroke lead after the shooting a birdie-laden 71 for a two-under-par tally.
Overnight leader Cassie Kneen (St Andrews) is Clark’s nearest challenger, an 80 leaving her two over for the tournament. Stirling’s Mirren Fraser rounds out the top three, an 81 giving her a two-round total of 153, +5 for the tournament. The performances of Clark and Kneen have seen St. Andrew’s second team continue to lead the team competition with Thursday’s final round seeing the top nine compete for the titles.

The men’s competition saw a number of strong performances at the top of the leaderboard with Robert Foley (Stirling) shooting a round of the day 69, to move up to second at one under for the tournament.
Early in the day, Craig Howie (Scottish Golf) had extended his lead at the top of the standings during the front nine, but five dropped shots coming home leave him at one under, three shots off the lead. The pole position is held by Liam Johnston, pictured, who followed up his steady opening level par 72 with a two-under 70, which included an outward 33 and a rare eagle at the seventh hole.
Johnston and Howie underpin a very strong performance from the Scottish Golf team who lead the team competition by seven strokes from the Stirling first team, who are a further 24 shots ahead of St. Andrews. With the leading groups going off from 10.20am, it is set to be an exciting finish to the competition.

OLIVIA HELPS ARIZONA STATE WIN NCAA TITLE

Arizona State beats Northwestern to win NCAA title

Arizona State team and coaches

Arizona State defeated Northwestern, 3 1/2 to 1 1/2, to win the team title at the NCAA Women's Golf Championship.

After a pair of dramatic semifinal matches, the final was relatively drama-free as the Sun Devils built an early lead and cruised from there at Rich Harvest Farms Golf Club in Sugar Grove, Ill. This is Arizona State's eighth team title and first since 2009.

GB and I Vagliano Trophy team selection Olivia Mehaffey from Northern Ireland notched the first point for Arizona State, winning the opening match, 4 and 3, over Northwestern's Sarah Cho. That result was quickly followed by Roberta Liti's romp over Janet Mao, 5 and 4, to put the Sun Devils on the precipice of a national championship.

Northwestern needed to win each of the remaining three matches to turn the tide, and the Wildcats got their first point when Kacie Komoto beat ASU's Sophia Zeeb, 3 and 1. But with the Sun Devils needing only one more point, Linnea Strom notched the decisive point when she closed out Stephanie Lau, 5 and 3, in the anchor match.

"It's been such a good week. I don't even know how to explain it," Strom said. "We have been working so hard for this, ever since August. Every practice, every workout, all we have been talking about is this moment right here. We wanted to win the national championship, and today we did."

Monica Vaughn, who won the individual title on Monday and helped spark the ASU comeback in their semi-final match against Stanford, was on the 19th hole when Strom recorded the team's third victory. Her match with Northwestern's Hannah Kim was deemed a draw to provide the final scoring margin.

Northwestern had advanced to match play for the first time since the women's format switched in 2015 and was in search of the program's first national title.

FRESHMAN OLIVIA IN NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL WITH ARIZONA STATE

Arizona State, Northwestern rally to reach NCAA final

Arizona State University, whose line-up includes GB and I Vagliano Trophy team selection Olivia Mehaffey, a freshman from Northern Ireland, and Northwestern University both rallied to win their semi-final matches at the NCAA Women's Golf Championship and set up an unexpected showdown in Wednesday's final.

When darkness halted play Tuesday evening at Rich Harvest Farms Golf Club, the Sun Devils (Arizona State) were facing a daunting deficit. Southern California had won two of the three completed matches and the Cardinal's Albane Valenzuela was 1-up on individual champion Monica Vaughn with one hole to go.

But US Curtis Cup team player Vaughn nearly holed a 30-yard pitch on No. 18 when play resumed, and her subsequent birdie forced overtime. She then defeated Valenzuela with a par on the 19th hole and Arizona State's Linnea Strom, who was all square with two holes to go when darkness fell, defeated Madeline Chou in 19 holes to clinch the decisive point.

"That was about the greatest shot I've ever hit in my life," Vaughn said of her pitch shot on No. 18. "I've hit that shot a couple times on that hole this week, so I knew what it would be like. I was just ready to go."

Earlier, Mehaffey, playing No. 1 for Arizona State, beat Andrea Lee 2 and 1.

The rally means Arizona State are in the team finals for the first time, while Stanford failed to make the finals for the first time since the women's format switched to match play in 2015.

All five matches in Northwestern's battle with Southern California were still on the course when play resumed Wednesday morning, but the Trojans led in four of five tilts.

Sarah Cho earned the first point for the Wildcats, and Hannah Kim soon followed after flipping her match against Robynn Ree to build a 2-0 lead.

USC notched the next two points, meaning the match between Northwestern's Janet Mao and USC's Gabriella Then would decide it. Mao won the 18th hole to force extras, then won the match when Then left a 10-foot par attempt one roll short on the first extra hole.

This marks the first finals appearance for Northwestern, which is playing this week a short drive from its Evanston, Illinois campus.

"They had an energy this morning and an aura about them that they just felt like they still had some fight in them," said Northwestern coach Emily Fletcher.

The team final will begin at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday and will be broadcast live on Golf Channel.

More Honors for Leona Maguire; Wins GolfStat Cup

SUGAR GROVE, Illinois – The honors keep rolling in for Duke University third-year student Leona Maguire as she was selected the winner of the 2016-17 GolfStat Cup Wednesday. The award, presented by GolfStat, is presented to the player who has the best scoring average versus par with at least 20 full rounds played during a season.

Maguire registered a NCAA-best 70.29 stroke average on the season, which was the lowest stroke average in the NCAA since the 2002 campaign when Lorena Ochoa notched a 70.13 ledger.

During the 2016-17 season, Maguire collected eight top five placements, three wins, nine rounds in the 60s and 21 rounds of even or under par. Her 70.29 stroke average broke her own Duke single-season record and was a new ACC record. She finished no lower than tied sixth over the course of the season.

Maguire won the ACC Individual Championship, while helping the Blue Devils claim Duke's 20th ACC title in school history. She finished runner-up at the NCAA Championship, won the LSU Tiger Golf Classic and the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge. Maguire also placed tied sixth at the NCAA Albuquerque Regional.

A product of Cavan, Ireland, Maguire became just the second Blue Devil to win the GolfStat Cup multiple times – Amanda Blumenherst (2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08). A Duke golfer has won the award eight different times since the 2003-04 campaign. Other Blue Devils to win the GolfStat Cup include Jenny Chuasiriporn (1997-98), Liz Janangelo (2003-04), Blumenherst, Lindy Duncan (2011-12) Maguire (2014-15).

Leona Maguire Finishes Runner-Up at NCAA Championship

SUGAR GROVE, Illinois – For the second time in her short collegiate career, Duke University third-year student Leona Maguire has finished runner-up and one shot off the lead at the NCAA Championship as she carded a two-over-par total of 218 at the 6,343-yard, par 72 Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois

Maguire improved her scores each round during the championship. After opening with a 77 Friday, she closed with a one-under 71, and a two-under 70. With the top five finish, Maguire joined only Celine Boutier and Amanda Blumenherst as Duke golfers to finish in the top five of multiple NCAA Championships. Duke has featured a golfer in the top two of the individual leaderboard in each of the last three NCAA Championships – Maguire (T2nd in 2017, 2015), Virginia Elena Carta (1st in 2016).

Arizona State's Monica Vaughn registered back-to-back birdies late in her round on Nos. 6 and No. 7 to take a one stroke lead on the individual leaderboard and ended up holding on with a one-over-par 217 for the individual title. Vaughn was one stroke better than Maguire (218) and Wake Forest's Jennifer Kupcho (218).

"She knew exactly where she stood – she was four back and knew in order to win this she needed to play well," commented Duke head coach Dan Brooks on Maguire. "She shot two under today. The wind wasn't quite as strong today, but it was still a very difficult. Two under was exceptional golf."

In Monday's final round, Maguire opened the day with a great sand save on the par four 10th hole. She then hit her pitching wedge from 103 yards away on the 341-yard, par four 12th to within three feet and drained the birdie to get to one-under. After three straight pars, she would bogey back-to-back holes on 16 and 17. Maguire responded by hitting her approach shot on the par five 18th onto the green for an eagle putt. She would end up tapping in a short birdie to get back to even as she made the turn.

"I played really well all day," said Maguire. "I did exactly what I wanted to do – started with a nice par save on 10, hit some good birdies and just played really steady, solid golf."

Maguire, a native of Cavan, Ireland, parred Nos 1 and 2 before hitting a seven iron into the par three third hole to 20 feet from the cup. She would drain the birdie putt to get to one-under-par. On the following hole, Maguire sent her approach over the green and had to chip from the rough. She made a great six-foot par putt to stay in the red digits.

She added another birdie on the sixth hole as she stuck her approach from 84 yards to within a foot.

Maguire featured birdie-chance putts on each of the final three holes, but couldn't get them to drop. On the day, she hit 14 greens, 13 fairways and had 29 putts.

"I think when we saw the course on the practice round, I thought even par was going to be a good number, especially given the conditions that were forecasted," said Maguire.

"Definitely the past two days in the wind, I am very happy with how I played. There wasn't a whole lot I could do about the first day with the wind, rain and cold that we got. I am just glad that I stayed patient, kept giving myself chances and took advantage of as many of them as I could."

In the team standings, Northwestern finished first with 33-over-par 897, while Stanford (905), Arizona State (909), Ohio State (913), Southern California (914), Florida (914) and Kent State (919) rounded out the top eight teams that advanced to match play.

Duke finished the 54 holes in 18th with rounds of 325, 309 and 300 for a 70-over-par, 934.

"To be honest, I would like to have seen better scores," commented Brooks. "We really did not play well in this tournament. Although it feels like you got beat up out there because the conditions were very tough, had the conditions been much easier, we still would not have gone to match play. We didn't play well enough."

Junior Lisa Maguire, who is from Cavan, Ireland, closed the championship with her third straight round of 82 on her way to finishing tied for 116th.

The 18th place team finish for the Blue Devils is the highest team finish in Duke history in the NCAA Championship. The previous high was 16th in 1983, which was the first appearance in the event for the Blue Devils. The match play portion of the tournament will kick off Monday, May 23.

Leona Maguire closed the season with a Duke-record 70.29 season stroke average, 21 rounds of even or under par, eight top five finishes and nine rounds in the 60s. She moved into tied for fifth place on Duke's career charts with her 19th top-five finish, sixth with 26 top-10 placements and owns 62 career rounds of even or under par to rank third all-time on the Blue Devil charts.

BRITWATCH: Leona Maguire's GB and I Vagliano Trophy team-mates for Italy next month, Olivia Mehaffey (Arizona State) and Alice Hewson (Clemson), finished T57 and T74 respectively. Mehaffey had scores of 79, 80 and 74 for 233, Hewson 81-78-77 for 236.

Olivia improved from T66 to T57 with her good finish but Hewson went fromT66 to T74. Arizona State finished third in the team event and so qualified for the match-play stages as did Baylor (7th) for whom former Scottish U18 girls champion Fiona Liddell slumped from T85 to a T102 finish with rounds of 81, 78 and 77 for 236.

Heading into Final Round Blue Devils Need Strong Finish

May 21, 2017

SUGAR GROVE, Illinois – With 18 holes of stroke play remaining at the NCAA Championship, the Duke University women's golf team will need to finish strong on Monday in order to reach the match-play portion of the event. The Blue Devils enter the final round 15 strokes out of eighth place and tied 17th overall. Only the top eight teams will advance to match-play following Monday's action at the 6,343-yard, par 72 Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois.

With the 2017 NCAA Championship shortened to only 54 holes due to Saturday's round being washed out due to weather, Duke finds itself in need of some help going into the final day of play.

The Blue Devils were holding strong Sunday in the second round, but closed 17-over-par over the final five holes to finish 21-over-par, 309. Duke made up 16 strokes from the day before and holds a 36-hole ledger of 634.

"The fact is we haven't played well," said Duke head coach Dan Brooks. "We have played pretty badly. This is a hard golf course and hard situation, but we have not been playing good golf. If we wind up being able to get into the top eight, I think we will be very, very fortunate. We are going to do our very best, we are going to fight like crazy – it is the only thing we know how to do, but we are a ways back."

Holding the team lead is Northwestern, who has totaled very impressive rounds of 301 and 298 for a 10-over-par, 599. Kent State (607), Stanford (609), Ohio State (610), Baylor (611), South Carolina (613), Southern California (618) and Miami (619) round out the top eight.

Duke junior Leona Maguire turned in one of only five under-par rounds Sunday to move up into a tie for sixth overall on the individual leaderboard through 36 holes with a four-over, 148. Maguire, who hails from Cavan, Ireland, featured a terrific start as she registered a par on the first hole and then was on the 459-yard, par five second hole in two for an eagle chance. She ended up sinking a short birdie to move to one-under-par, Maguire then collected seven straight pars, before birding 11 and 13 to get to three-under-par.

"Leona can really play in this stuff," commented Brooks. "She is a really smart player, has all the skills and I am not surprised she is up near the top.

The winds started swirling late in the round and she suffered a couple of late bogeys, before lippingt for birdie on No. 18 to finish with a one-under-par, 71. She hit a team-best 14 greens, 13 fairways and had 31 putts on the day. The round was her 20th even or under par score of the season, which is tied for fourth on Duke's single-season charts.

Wake Forest's Jennifer Kupcho holds the individual lead with an even-par, 144, while Purdue's August Kim (145) is second and Arizona State's Monica Vaughn and South Carolina's Ainhoa Olarra are tied for third with a 146.

With a back nine of only three-over-par, junior Lisa Maguire played one of the best final nine holes of the Blue Devil squad on Sunday. She opened the day with seven-over-par 43 on the front nine, but opened the back nine with a par and birdie on the par five 11th.

After a double-bogey on the 12th, she played the final six holes at two-over. On the 476-yard, par five 18th, Maguire was on in two shots and ended up draining a seven-foot birdie to close the day. She hit seven fairways, six greens and had 30 putts on the day.

BRITWATCH: GB and I Vagliano Trophy team selections Olivia Mehaffey (Arizona State) and Alice Hewson (Clemson) dropped from T44 on Saturday to T66 on Sunday. Mehaffey has had rounds of 79 and 80 for 159, the same total as Hewson with scores of 81 and 78.
