Roscommon golfer makes history as two-time Flogas Irish Girls' champion

The 18-year-old won the title in 2023, and joins Olivia Mehaffey as the only players to have achieved the title on multiple occasions.

Roscommon golfer Olivia Costello has made history claiming a victory in the Flogas Irish Girls' Amateur Open Championship.
The 18-year-old won the title in 2023, and joins Olivia Mehaffey as the only players to have achieved the title on multiple occasions.

In what has been described as a 'stellar' performance, Costello backed up her solid rounds of 70 and 67 with another 67 yesterday afternoon in Corrstown.
She finished on 12-under-par, seven-shots clear of Hannah Lee-McNamara, who was unable to close the margin having begun the day three adrift.
Olivia started playing golf at the age of seven, and since then has risen through the ranks to become one of Ireland’s most decorated young golfers, winning major national and international titles, representing Ireland with distinction, and earning a full athletic scholarship to Louisiana State University.
