MONROE, La. – Texas A&M women's golf's Brooke Tyree won the 93rd Louisiana Women's Amateur Championship with a 5&4 victory over Sarah Meral at the Bayou DeSiard Country Club on Wednesday.
Â
"I've been trying to win this event for a few years now," Tyree said. "And after being runner-up last year it's just really exciting to finally get the trophy. After I lost in the finals last year, I set a goal to win the event this year, and it feels great to accomplish that goal."
Â
The Sulphur, Louisiana, native won her first match 8&6, and won 2&1 in the second round. In the semifinals, Tyree was victorious 1-up, before a convincing victory in the finals, 5&4.
Â
Tyree came out strong in the first four holes of the championship round, winning each hole to go 4-up. The Aggie would go on to only drop one hole the rest of the way, and capped off the victory by parring No. 14.
Â
The rising senior birdied nine holes and carded 58 pars throughout her 79 holes of play this week. Tyree was the runner-up in this event last year, and has been chasing this trophy since 2017. Â
