Hannah makes top 20, Olivia 21st

in big field at Williamsburg

Birmingham's Hannah Coles (Radford University, Virginia) achieved a top-20 finish and Channel Islander Olivia Jordan-Higgins (Charleston Southern University) was joint 21st in the First Market Bank Intercollegiate women's tournament at Ford's Colony Country Club, Williamsburg in Virginia.
Considering there was a big field of some 124 players competing over the par-72, 6174yd course, that was quite a good performance by the two girls.
Hannah had a pair of 79s for 158 and a share of 17th place behind the winner Rhea Nair (Alabama) who scored 75 and 74 for 149.
Olivia improved by five shots second time round with scores of 82 and 77 for 159.
Old Dominion University's two Irish players were both in the field. Emma Gilmore finished joint 47th on 164 with scores of 83 and 81 but Laura Holmes, after a first-round 80, did not finish her second round.
One of Olivia Jordan-Higgins' team-mates, Madison Jeter tied with Brianna Malcolmson (Penn State) (75-75) for second place on 150.
That helped Charleston Southern (630) finish third behind Alabama (609) and Richmond (627) in the team event in which Radford (642) came seventh of 22 teams.
