Laura Jones comes third in NAIA

Championship and is named to

All-American Team for second time

Royal Liverpool GC member Laura Jones, a junior (third) year student at Oklahoma City University, finished third in a huge field of 128 players in the NAIA Women's Championship at Meadowbank (par 72), Rapid City, South Dakota.
Later Laura was named for the second time as a member of the All-American NAIA team - an indication that she is considered one of the top players at this level of the US college women's golf circuit.

The top three in the championship were:
301 Nathalie Silva (California Baptist) 74 76 75 76.
303 Kylie Barras (British Columbia) 78 77 75 73.
304 Laura Jones (Oklahoma City) 76 74 77 77.

Laura had four double bogeys over the 72 holes, or she might well have added a fifth victory to her US golfing CV.
Laura is the Sooner Athletic Conference individual champion for the second year in a row
She was born at Chester on July 29, 1989 and lives - over her summer holidays from the USA - at Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.
Oklahoma City University, thanks to Laura's efforts finished second in the NAIA Women's Team championship with a total of 1231, compared with title-winners British Columbia';s 1224. A total of 25 teams took part so that was a pretty good performance by Oklahoma City.
