LAREDO, Texas — It took a 37th hole, but St. Mary's University Women's Golfer
Orla O'Leary won the first tournament of her career, winning the title at the Jack Brown Memorial Invitational on Tuesday, helping the Rattlers win the team trophy.
Â
O'Leary, a junior from Galashiels, Scotland, entered the day two shots off the lead and fired a 77 on day two to tie Texas A&M International's Kiara Montebon after 36 holes. The pair competed in a playoff hole on the 18th at the Laredo Country Club, where O'Leary had a fantastic drive off the tee and two-putted for par to win by one stroke.
Â
Despite having a rough second day, the Rattlers hung on for a three-stroke victory in the six-team field. The win is the 33rd team tournament title in school history and the first this season, though the Rattlers have finished in the top three in all five tournaments.

Sophomore
Savannah Dupre (Boerne, Texas) improved by one stroke on day two, shooting a 79 to move up to a tie for 11th place, alongside senior
Libby Kilbride (Sheffield, England) as both carded 159. Sophomore
