Three Longhorns finish in the top-10 in first tournament of the season.
LAKE ELMO, Minn. — Led by junior Farah O'Keefe and seniors Angela Heo and Cindy Hsu, the Texas women's golf team finished tied for fourth place in their opening tournament of the season, the ANNIKA Intercollegiate presented by 3M on Wednesday at Royal Golf Club.
The Longhorns shot 6-under as a team over the final 18 holes and finished at 2-under for the tournament. Through nine holes Texas was tied for the overall lead, but Wake Forest made a strong push to win the team title with a score of 8-under for the tournament. Oregon finished runner-up at 5-under and Southern California finished third at 4-under. Texas and Northwestern tied for fourth at 2-under.
O'Keefe led the Longhorns individually as she finished T5 on the leaderboard. Heo and Hsu finished T10. Hsu had a strong closing round for Texas with a 5-under 67.
The Longhorns shot a combined 15-under-par in rounds two and three after their 9-under score on Tuesday. That 15-under-par score represented the best in the field over those two days.
Up next the Longhorns compete in the Jackson T. Stephens Cup Sept. 15-17 in Lake Bluff, Ill.

Farah O'Keefe made three birdies and carded a 1-under 71 on the final day of the tournament. O'Keefe turned in her 11th collegiate top-five finish as she finished T5 in the tournament. O'Keefe carded rounds of par or better in each of the three rounds.
Cindy Hsu made seven birdies on her scorecard over the final 18 holes on her way to a 5-under 67 and 1-under for the tournament. Hsu made three straight birdies on holes three, four and five. The 67 is her 10thcollegiate round in the 60's and her T10 finish is her eighth career top-10 finish.

Head Coach Laura Ianello
"I'm proud of the women for their fourth-place finish. Especially Farah O'Keefe finishing fifth and two seniors Angela Heo and Cindy Hsu finishing 10th were stellar performances. Our first day hurt us. This is an event we could have won if we would have gotten off to a better start. With seven top-10 teams here I think a fourth-place finish is respectable, but it leaves us hungry and we know we can achieve more. We have the Jackson T Stephens Cup coming up and we will be ready to get back in action."
