The "Mo"Morial
The Texas A&M women's golf “Mo”Morial tournament is named after former Aggie women's golf great Monica Welsh. Welsh, who tragically died in an automobile accident in 1992, was a four-year letter winner for the Aggies from 1978-1982. She was a two-time TAIAW all-state selection and set the then-record for low competitive round (68) in 1981 at the TAIAW State Championship. The maroon and white have hosted the “Mo” 18 times and have finished first a “Mo”-best six times, including a record best 25-stroke victory in 1996.
