Olivia Mehaffey hoping to inspire Arizona State team-mates in East Lake Cup match-play





GB and I international player and Arizona State University student Olivia Mehaffey from Northern Ireland finished joint second with a five-birdie, four-bogey round of 71 in the stroke-play stage of the East Lake Cup women's college tournament at East Lake Golf Club, Atlanta, Georgia.
The four teams who qualified for the match-play stages were Stanford (291), Southern California (297), Northwestern 298 and Arizona State 301.
In the semi-finals of the match-play it will be
Southern California v Northwestern
Stanford v Arizona State.

Olivia's opponent will be Madeline Chou. Mehaffey, whose stroke play round was 14 strokes better than that of Chou, should win that one - but can her team-mates also win their ties?

The stroke-play leaders over a par-72 course of 6,206yd were:
70 Robynn Lee (Southern California).
71 Andrea Lee (Stanford), Olivia Mehaffey (Arizona State0, Janet Mao (Northwestr), Shannon Aubert (Stanford).

Other scores included:
74 Linnea Strom (Arizona State) (T7)
85 Madeline Chou (Stanford) (20th)
