Olivia Costello claimed the silver medal at the Women’s Andalucia Cup at Club de Golf La Canada.
Costello carded a second straight round of 74 to finish on five-over-par, five shots behind winner Nagore Martinez Salcedo.
Teeing off in a share of the lead, the sixteen-year-old Roscommon star opened with back to back bogeys but steadied affairs with a birdie on the par-5 3rd.
A bogey on the par-3 4th was followed by five straight pars to the turn.
A back nine charge never materialised for Costello who dropped a shot on the par-4 11th but finished well with seven successive pars to edge into second place.
Despite her solid play there was little she could do to arrest the brilliance of Salcedo who played brilliantly at the weekend with rounds of 70 an d 69 to charge to the title.
