Brilliant Costello edged out in final in Spain

Roscommon Town golfer Olivia Costello was defeated in heart-breaking circumstances in the final of the Spanish Amateur Open championship on Sunday when she lost on the final green to Spain’s Nagore Martinez Salcedo who won by a single hole. The Roscommon girl led all the way through and at one stage was three up but the Spaniard reeled her in to win at the death. However it has been a fantastic tournament for Olivia who proved that she can mix it with the very best players in Europe with several impressive wins throughout the week.
