O'Sullivan Defends Title at Mary Thayer Farnum Cup
LAFAYETTE HILL, Penn. -- On Monday, Aug. 11, Ava O'Sullivan of the BGSU women's golf team defended her title at the Women's Golf Association of Pennsylvania (WGAP) Mary Thayer Farnum Cup, firing a 140 total gross score and finishing -4 under par. The tournament is held at Union League Liberty Hill and serves as the WGAP Class A Women's Championship.
O'Sullivan has now won the Mary Thayer Farnum cup two years in a row, improving on her score from the 2024 tournament by two strokes. Last summer, she shot a 71 on both days of the tournament for a total score of 142. Last weekend, she opened the tournament with another 71 on Sunday, but then closed out the tournament with a 69 on Monday, solidifying her place atop the leaderboard and finishing with a 140.
O'Sullivan's victory adds to an impressive summer for the Falcons, as she becomes the fourth member of the BGSU women's golf team to earn an individual tournament victory. Macie Elzinga, Addison Kartusch, and Clare Yeazell have also posted summer tournament victories, and Macie Elzinga's victory in the Michigan Women's Amateur Championship earned her the opportunity to compete in the US Women's Amateur Championship at Bandon Dunes in Oregon last week.
With this win, the BGSU women's golf team continues to build momentum for the upcoming season, as they will look to improve on their program-best second-place finish at the MAC Championship in 2024. The Falcons will open up their fall slate of tournaments on Aug. 31 as they travel up to Kewadin, Mich. for the A-Ga-Ming Invitational hosted by Central Michigan.
