PINE MOUNTAIN, Ga. – Lady Topper Golf consistently improved each team round over the 54-hole Callaway Gardens Invitational. WKU finished seventh as a squad after shooting its best round at 8-over 292 in Wednesday's final round in the South Alabama-hosted event.
"I'm proud of our solid finish today at Callaway Gardens," said head coach Adam Gary. "Megan (Clarke) had a solid performance all the way around and Teri (Doss) had a really good final round for us. We've got a few weeks to work on things before we are back in Georgia for our final event of the season."
Redshirt senior Teri Doss led the way for the Lady Toppers' third and final round at the par-71, 6,006-yard Callaway Gardens – Lake View Course. She tied the team's best individual round of the event at even-par 71. She moved up 13 spots on the individual leaderboard to tie for 37th.
WKU's top overall finisher was senior Megan Clarke. The captain carded a final-round, 2-over 73 to conclude the Invitational. Her 54-hole total of 3-over 216 earned her a ninth-place finish. This is her first top-10 finish of the 2020 fall season and sixth in her career.
Earning the Lady Tops' second top-25 finish of the event was graduate senior Mary Joiner. She also carded a 2-over 73 on Wednesday to tie for 17th after 54 holes. The Franklin, Ky., native has recorded a top-25 finish in six of her last seven events.
Freshman Rachel Rich rounded out scoring for the Red and White as she turned in a 4-over 75 for Wednesday's final round. Sophomore Sarah Arnold was just behind Rich in the final round at 5-over 76. Rich finished in 52nd while Arnold tied for 48th.
Senior Olivia Reed finished the event with a 12-over 83 to tie for 57th. Freshman Addie Westbrook completed her Lady Topper debut with her best round of the Invitational at 5-over 76. She placed 60th after competing as an individual.
Lady Topper Golf will take a small pause prior to its final event of the fall season. WKU will compete in the Mercer Invitational in Macon, Ga., on November 9 and 10 to complete its autumn slate.
