UVA Golf fourth-year Jaclyn LaHa followed a stellar opening day with a final-round 1-over 73 to win the Canadian Collegiate Invitational at Beacon Hall Golf Course on Tuesday.

The Cavaliers combined for a score of 1-over 865 to win the tournament as three individuals landed in the top four.

LaHa recovered from an early stumble with three birdies on a bogey-free back nine.

The victory earned her an automatic exemption into the LPGA Tour’s 2027 CPKC Women’s Open at The Royal Ottawa Golf Club in Gatineau, Quebec.

Zoe Cusack combined for a score of 3-under 213 to place third on the individual leaderboard, while Elsie MacCleery tied for fourth with a 54-hole score of 1-under 215.

As top five finishers, Cusack and MacCleery receive automatic exemptions into the 2027 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship.

Mira Berglund tied for 19th overall with a 54-hole score of 10-over 226, while Lily Reitter tied for 29th at 14-over 230.
