The sophomore's victory help lead the team to a third place finish
WEST LAFAYETTE, MN - The University of Minnesota women's golf team wrapped up the final round of the Boilermaker Classic today. After shooting a third straight even-par round, the Gophers finished in third overall. The team score of 288-288-288=864 set the fifth-lowest 54-hole score in school history.
Sophomore Isabella McCauley became the first Gopher since the fall of 2015 to be crowned as an individual tournament champion. This is her first collegiate career win, doing so in her 13th tournament. She also set her lowest tournament score to par (-12), breaking her former personal best by five strokes.
Purdue University finished the tournament on top with a three-round score of 296-270-286=852 (-12).
Quotable:
"Having a college win was one of my dream goals since the start of my freshman year, and I'm so grateful to have my first one in the Midwest at Purdue with all my incredible teammates" said sophomore Isabella McCauley. "I seriously couldn't be the player and person I am without them."
"I added an event before the ANNIKA to try and kick start our season and gain some momentum before we host next week. The team did their jobs and took that challenge to heart" said head coach Rhyll Brinsmead. "Bella leading wire to wire is an incredible feat and we're all so happy for her. This win means as much to the team as it does to Bella. We can't wait to get back out there next Monday."
Notable:
Sophomore Isabella McCauley led the team once again in round three, carding a 3-under par 69. Her three-round score of 67-68-69=204 (-12) led her to a first-place finish.
Hailey Loh flashed impressive consistency in her first tournament as a Gopher, shooting three consecutive rounds of 73 (+1). She earned a top-20 finish leaving the Boilermaker Classic in a tie for 17th.
Freshman Sara Tomaszewski shot her second even-par round with four birdies and ten pars. She finished in a tie for 22nd with a three-round score of 77-72-72=221 (+5).
Megan Furtney continued to show improvement in round three, carding her tournament-best score of 74. Her three-round score of 76-75-74=225 (+9) earned her a T37 finish.
Graduate Emma Carpenter finished her third round with two birdies and eleven pars. She finished with a score of 72-81-76=229 (+13) and in a tie for 60th.
Individual Grace Curran carded her lowest round of the tournament, improving by six strokes between rounds two and three. She jumped forward 19 places and finished in a tie for 34th with a final score of 76-77-71=224 (+8).
