MINNESOTA WOMEN GOLFERS COMPETE AT THE SHOOTOUT AT THE LEGENDS
10/3/2000 12:00:00 AM | Women's Golf
The Golden Gopher women's golf team will compete in the Shootout at The Legends on Monday-Tuesday, Oct. 9-10, in Franklin, Ind. This tournament is unusual in that it is sponsored by The Legends of Indiana Golf Course and not by a host school. The 54-hole tournament will feature 36 holes played on Monday and 18 on Tuesday, on the par-72, 5,975-yard course. Minnesota is one of nine Big Ten Conference teams in the 15-team field. Illinois and Penn State are not included in the tournament field. Non- conference teams the Gophers will face are Alabama, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, defending Shootout champion Oklahoma State and Texas A&M.
Gophers Place Third at Lady Northern with the Third- Best Score in School History
Minnesota posted the third-best 54-hole tournament score in its history, placing third in the Lady Northern Invitational with a score of 908. (The top two 54-hole team scores in Gopher history are 902 at the Gopher Fall Invitational in 1985 and 907 Lady Buckeye Invitational in spring 1987.) Ohio State won the team title with a 896, followed by Purdue at 905.
Junior Cindy Cannon (Big Lake, Minn./Monticello) turned in the best performance of her Gopher career, finishing in a tie for fourth place with a score of 224 on rounds of 78, 73 and 73. Previously, the highest individual finish of her career was 12th at the Michigan State Mary Fossum Invitational earlier this season.
Three other Gophers finished in the top 20: Megan Stier (Belle Plaine, Minn./Belle Plaine) (76-79-75-230) and Katie Bakken (Brooklyn Center, Minn./Champlin Park) (81-76-73-230) in a tie for 15th and Jenny Bruun (Crookston, Minn./Central) (77-81-73-231) in a tie for 19th.
