KirkwoodGolf: Irish women's open amateur stroke play championship

Full Scores – Available HERE

On a day downtrodden by rain and wind at the Island Golf Club,

Olivia Mehaffey (Royal Co Down Ladies) didn’t fail to impress.

With a round of 69 (CSS 80), Olivia leads the 71 person field by

six shots from Jessica Ross (Donaghadee) and Chloe Williams

(Wales) at the Irish women'open amateur stroke play championship.

A flawless front nine included 3 birdies and 6 pars. One dropped shot on the 11^th was made up for when she carded an eagle 3 at the 18^th.

Commenting on her round, Mehaffey

(pictured right) said ‘I played really

steady today and if I got in trouble I

recovered well. Kevin LeBlanc,

caddied for me so he was a great help’.

Asked about her eagle 3 on 18, she

commented ‘I hit driver and then 3

wood to 12 feet and holed the putt so

that was a nice way to finish’.

Wind picked up as the day progressed but the majority of players battled through the testing conditions to sign off on round one and prepare for Saturday's second round.

Mehaffey’s closest Irish competitors include Jessica Ross (Donaghadee) on 75 and Mairead Martin (Killarney) and Chloe Ryan (Castletroy) with scores of 77’s. There will be a cut to 50 players (+ ties) after 36 holes.
