ABU DHABI, U.A.E. – Texas A&M freshman golfer Cayetana Fernández García-Poggio earned runner-up honors and led her home country of Spain into third at the 30th Women's Amateur Team Championship at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club on Saturday.
The Madrid, Spain, native shot 11-under 277 during the four-round tournament just two shots behind individual champion Huai-Chien-Hsu of Chinese Taipei.
