TARA FINDS HER FORM IN FINAL ROUND
OVER MICHIGAN STATE UNIV COURSE

Tara Delaney from Ireland found her best form in the third and final round of the Mary Fossum Invitationl over the Michigan State University's Forest Akers West Course (Par 72, 6,316yd).
Tara, struggling a wee bit in her first US college tournament of the season with opening rounds of 80 and 78, settled down nicely in the third round to shoot 16 pars, one birdie (at the 10th) and one bogey (at the 11th).
That gave Miss Delaney a par-matching 72 which was one of the best rounds of the third session.
Tara actually outscored two of the top three finishers in the third round.
And Tara's performance helped her university, Kent State, to finish like a train and cut team winners Michigan State's winning margin - which looked like being huge - to only four shots.
Kent State totalled 290 in the third round, 15 better than Michigan State and seven better than Indiana University who tied for second place.
Laura Kueny (Michigan State), playing over her home course, had rounds of 71, 70 and 73 for two-under-par 214 to win the individual title by eight strokes.
Joint second on 222 were Laura's team-mate Sara Brown with 75, 73 and 74 and one of Tara Delaney's Kent State team-mates, Kira Meixner with 78, 73 and 71.
