Delaney on form in Texas

Irish women Tara Delaney and Danielle McVeigh enjoyed mixed fortunes in Texas this week as they battled the Lone Star State’s infamous winds at the Texas A&M ‘Mo’morial’ tournament.

Playing for the host team, McVeigh, in her second year at Texas A&M would have expected to shine in an event in which she scored a top-20 finish as a freshman. Yet the Kilkeel, Co Down, golfer missed the second round with an injury after opening with a 78 at the par-72 Traditions Golf Club in Bryan and posted an 83 in the final round.
