GARLAND, Texas -- University of Texas freshman Shannon Fish shot rounds of 72 and 73 to claim a one-stroke victory Thursday afternoon in the 36-hole Texas Women's Open at the par 70, 6,104-yard Eastern Hills Country Club.
Fish's (Spring, Texas) five-over par finish landed her one stroke ahead of second-place finisher Catherine Matranga, a former TCU standout, in the 87-player event. Fish led all players by shooting par or better on 28 of the 36 holes while adding four birdies.
UT redshirt freshman Erica Doody (Houston, Texas) added a solid performance, as she stroked two rounds of 75 to finish in a tie for fourth place at 10-over par. She led the field with five birdies.
