SARASOTA, Fla. - Grace Curran posted a one-under par final round for the Minnesota women's golf team on Tuesday as the Gophers finished T-14th at the Heroes Ladies Intercollegiate at the Founders Club.
Notable
Curran (74-74-71--219) ended the tournament tied for 20th at 3-over par, the top finisher for the Maroon and Gold. This is Curran's second career top-20 finish. The sophomore also posted a career-low 54-hole score (219) and a career-low final round score (71).
Emma Carpenter (78-73-74--225) was the next highest on the leaderboard for the Gophers, who ended the event tied for 39th place. Annabelle Ackroyd ended the tournament in 63rd place (85-72-76--233) and Grace Kellar (85-80-75--240) finished tied for 70th. Freshman Kira Wolf closed her first showing for Minnesota at 75th (90-77-94--261).
Quotable
"I am so proud of the way the team competed today," head coach Rhyll Brinsmead said. "They have shown such grit and determination to fight back from the first round. Grace Curran was exceptional today and to earn a tie for 20th in this field is a testament to her talent. This is exactly the start we needed this spring to gauge where we are and what we need to work on. This group is a joy to coach, and they are like sponges soaking up any and all information. We had a phenomenal trip and we cannot wait to get back on the road."
Up Next
The Gophers will travel to South Carolina for their next event, taking part in the Briar's Creek Invitational from March 15-16.
