Stephanie Meadow finishes third at US Open to complete stunning pro debut

The 22-year-old from Jordanstown finished three shots behind Michelle Wie.

NORTHERN IRELAND’S STEPHANIE MEADOW completed a superb professional golf debut by finishing third at the US Woman’s Open at Pinehurst.

The 22-year-old from Jordanstown carded a great round of 69 to finish on +1 after four rounds. Her pursuit of round three leader Michelle Wie faltered on the front nine with seven pars and two bogeys. An eagle on 10, however, sparked a fightback and she birdied 18 to claim third for herself.

The event was won by American golf star Michelle Wie. She was the only competitor to finished under par, on -2, after signing off for a final round of 70. Compatriot Stacy Lewis shot a fantastic 66 to clinch second on even par.

Meadow, who has connections to Royal Portrush and University of Alabama, was the leading European, with Scotland’s Catriona Matthew tied for 10th.

    NAMA got a bigger offer, so what is the issue? They are (allegedly) there to get the best price for the properties they have on their books. So Dublin GAA should have gone higher?

    I don’t think Dublin need another training complex (although the GAA would have like a smaller stadium in Dublin) but building ANOTHER hotel is a ridiculous idea.

    So NAMA recieved a higher offer did they for this Complex. I would double check that. Especially with those gangsters and their dealings.

    If it was the FAI or the IRFU you can be sure that a way would be found to accommodate them.
