Chloe Goadby’s student series season ends on a high

After the cancellation of the Tour Series Final due to the current coronavirus pandemic – previously scheduled for St Andrews and Carnoustie in Scotland in April – the student event has this week finalised its standings from events previously played.

Scotland’s Penelope Brown and Alan Fahy from Ireland have been confirmed series winners.

Brown amassed 275 order of merit points, with countrywoman and fellow University of Stirling player Hazel MacGarvie runner-up on 200 points thanks to her wins in Ireland and Scotland.

Chloe, from St Andrews, and Louise Duncan sealed a top-four sweep for the prolific University of Stirling golfers, with another Scot, Lorna McClymont, sharing fifth with France’s Emily Mollard.

Launched last September, the student golf initiative saw players compete at four championships in Scotland, Ireland, Spain and Portugal – all at world-class golf courses, including hosts to The Open Qualifying Series and the European Tour.

Players earned points on the tour series order of merit, with the leaders due to progress to the Tour Series Final, at what was previously The R&A Scholars Tournament.

The aim of the new series is to enhance high performance competition among the leading student golfers across Europe.
