GREENVILLE, N.C. – WKU Women's Golf finished its final regular season tournament of the 2021-22 campaign with a 7-over 295 in the final round of the Ironwood Invitational. The Lady Toppers finished 11th as a team and moved up one spot in the final day of competition.
"We had a really good back nine today and I'm proud of the way Sarah (Arnold) and Olivia (Reed) fought through some adversity and bounced back from a rough few days," said head coach Adam Gary. "We've certainly got work to do in the next two weeks leading up to the conference championships, but I'm proud of our effort today."
On the final day of play at the par-72, 6,278-yard Ironwood Country Club, junior Sarah Arnold led the squad with the best round of the week at 2-under 70. She climbed 18 spots on the leaderboard to tie with sophomore Rachel Rich for 53rd.

Fifth-year senior Olivia Reed proved to be the most consistent of the crew in North Carolina, finishing out her event with a 2-over 74. She logged the best finish of any Lady Topper at t-36th with a 54-hole total of 8-over 224.
Freshman Faith Martin counted her score with a 3-over 75 to tie for 56th overall. Senior Kenlie Barrett also posted a 4-over 76 like Rich and tied for 62nd on the leaderboard.
