PEORIA, Arizona – Junior Leah Herzog led the way for the Gophers in the third and final round, shooting a three-under (69) as Minnesota closed out the Westbrook Invitational at Westbrook Village Golf Club on Monday morning.
The Gophers, who recorded a 296 score for the third round, finished the tournament in 11th place with a 293-283-296-872 score for the event.
No. 35 Mississippi State won the tournament with a score of 285-282-284-851. Bulldog freshman Julia Lopez Ramirez (69-68-68-205) topped the individual leaderboard with a four-under-par 68 final round.
Quotable
"Although we're disappointed we moved down the leaderboard today there are many positives to take away from this week," head coach Rhyll Brinsmead said. "We continue to make strides towards competing at our highest potential. In back to back events we've now had a different athlete lead the team. This shows depth, and we will continue to work on cleaning up the mental misses that cost us. Shout out to Leah for her first top 10 finish as a Gopher finishing -4 for the event!"
