The 21-year-old amateur from Clare stole the headlines at the showpiece event at Pebble Beach.
CLARE AMATEUR AINE Donegan is hoping for an invite to this year’s Irish Open after she stole headlines at the US Women’s Open at Pebble Beach.
“Finally got up-and-down on 17 and then to hit one out of the seaweed onto the fairway and then hit a shot into that – I mean, if you’d told me looking at my drive coming off 18 with a par I’d be taking it. But no, feeling very, very thankful right now to have my friends here and just everyone who’s out here supporting me.
Donegan is studying at Louisiana State University and says she has no immediate plans to turn professional, saying she wants to complete her stay at the university. She is going to target qualification for the Open Championship, however, and hopes to bag another invite to the Women’s Irish Open at the end of August.
