University of New Mexico women’s golfer Manon de Roey won the Concentra Securitas Omnium tournament last month at the Limburg Golf and Country Club (par 72, 5,819 yards) in Belgium.
In a field comprised of Belgian professional and amateur players, de Roey claimed the top spot in a tournament that is considered to be the most prestigious in Belgium. De Roey is from Schilde (SHILL-duh), Belgium.
De Roey, who will be a sophomore at UNM, shot a course record and personal best 66 (33-33) in the second round on her way to a 72-hole total of 3-under 285 (74-66-74-71). She won the tournament by six strokes, beating current professionals Victoria Tomko and Benedicte Toumpsin in the process.
