ARDMORE, Okla. – By carding pars on 15 of 18 holes on Sunday afternoon, Lady Topper Golf sophomore Catie Craig notched her sixth top-25 finish of the season and was the team's top finisher for the fourth time this year at The Bruzzy hosted by North Texas.
WKU finished in 13th as a team at the highly competitive tournament, defeating Oklahoma and Miami.
"We were hoping to finish a little higher up on the leaderboard this week and unfortunately we didn't get that done," said head coach Adam Gary. "However, this was a really competitive tournament on a tough golf course. Hopefully, we can take this experience and be more prepared for a similar situation at conference in just two weeks. Once again, I'm proud of what Catie Craig has been able to do this season; a top-25 finish in a field this deep is a great accomplishment."
Craig was the most consistent Lady Topper of the weekend, turning in another 3-over 73 in the final round. She had 15 pars and three bogeys to make up the score. Craig tied for 24th overall at the par-70, 5,976-yard Dornick Hills Golf & Country Club.
Senior Sarah Arnold joined in on the 3-over 73's on Sunday afternoon. She had 16 pars on the course with just two hiccup-holes. She tied for 45th on the individual leaderboard.
Fifth-year senior Kenlie Barrett carded a 4-over 74, her best score of the tournament, in the final round. WKU counted freshman Sydney Hackett's score to round out the scorecard as she posted a 6-over 76. Hackett tied for 57th while Barrett tied for 74th and freshman Averi cline tied for 77th.
