IONA ROSKA FROM INVERNESS HAS T49 FINISH IN OKLAHOMA

Iona Roska from Inverness, an 18-year-old freshman at Cameron University, Oklahoma, shot scores of 76 and 83 for a total of 159 and a T49 finish in a field of 69 players at the Oklahoma Women's Intercollegiate golf tournament at Fort Sill, Oklahoma this week.
Iona took up golf only four years ago and was the only girl member at Inverness Golf Club. One of the reasons she accepted a golf scholarship at an American college was the chance to improve her game with regular competitive play.
She finished 21 strokes behind the winner at Fort Still, Emily Brennan (Midwestern State) who had rounds of 67 and 71 for 138, three shots clear of the field. Midwestern state (577) also won the team title. Cameron University (610) finished eighth of 12.
It was Cameron University's last tournament of the year. They will resume play on the American women's college golf circuit in the spring.

MAGUIRE FOUR OFF LPGA Q SCHOOL STAGE 2 LEAD

By Randall Mell
Venezuela’s Alazne Urizar Zapata took the first-round lead Thursday in the LPGA Q-School’s stage two event at Plantation Golf & Country Club in Venice, Florida.
With a 6-under-par 66 on the Bobcat Course, Zapata is one shot ahead of Sweden’s Jenny Haglund, Hungary’s Csicsi Rozsa and Spain’s Luna Sobron.
South Korean amateur Eun Jeong Seong opened with a 68, moving into a tie for fifth. Seong made history last year becoming the first player to win the U.S. Girls’ Junior and U.S. Women’s Amateur in the same season.
Ireland’s Leona Maguire, the world’s No. 1 amateur and the two-time Annika Award winner at Duke University as the best player in college women’s golf, opened with a 70, good for a tie for 11th.
England’s Georgia Hall opened with a 71. Hall tied for third at the Ricoh Women’s British Open in August and tied for 10th at the Evian Championship a month later. She made her first European Solheim Cup team this summer.
Alongside Hall on the T23 mark are compatriots Annabel Dimmock and Charlotte Thomas.
Meghan Maclaren had a 72 to be T40 overnight.
Scots Vikki Laing, Gemma Dryburgh and Michele Thomson are T83 with 74s.
Carly Booth had a 75 to be T102.
A fifth Scot, Kylie Walker, was T120 with Amy Boulden from Wales on the 76 mark.
There is a field of 190 players.
The low 80 scores and ties from this week’s field of 192 players will advance to the final stage of Q-School in December.
