Gophers Finish 12th at ANNIKA Intercollegiate
9/18/2019 4:34:00 PM | Women's Golf
LAKE ELMO, Minn. – Stormy skies gave way to a sunny afternoon Wednesday as the 2019 ANNIKA Intercollegiate presented by 3M drew to a close at Royal Golf Club. The tournament's co-host, Minnesota finished in 12th place (308-311-319—938) led by a second straight solid round from junior Kate Lillie.
Lillie (79-72-73—224) tied for 39th place at 8-over-par, the best finish by a Gopher at this event since joining the field in 2017. Freshman Annabelle Ackroyd (75-76-82—233) tied for 50th, while junior Joanne Free (75-83-82—240) and freshman Grace Curran (79-80-82—241) placed 58th and 59th, respectively. The fifth member of the Gopher lineup, freshman Emma Carpenter, did not participate in Wednesday's round due to illness.
Wake Forest (282-282-283—847) earned a 14-shot team victory, with the Demon Deacons' wire-to-wire leader, freshman Rachel Kuehn (67-67-69—203) earning medalist honors.
Notable
The start of Wednesday's round was delayed by two hours due to early-morning thunderstorms, forcing the shift of the format from tee times to a 10:30 a.m. shotgun start.
Quotable
"Our thanks to Coach Redman and the University of Minnesota for helping to host another great tournament this week. We love coming up to the Twin Cities and can't wait to bring the ANNIKA Intercollegiate presented by 3M back next fall." – Annika Sörenstam, World Golf Hall of Famer
Up Next
The Gophers are idle for a little over two weeks before heading to Hampton Roads for the Princess Anne Invitational, hosted by Old Dominion University in Virginia Beach, Va., on October 4-6.
