FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- USF settled for the fourth place finish at the Ptarmigam Ram Fall Classic, which wrapped up today in Fort Collins, Colo.
The Dons finished with a team score of 891 (+27) after a closing round 305 (+17) on the par-72 Ptarmigan Golf Clb layout, 15 strokes behind first-place BYU, which posted a 12-over 876 to claim the team title. The Cougars shot a final round 296 to hold off second-place San Jose State, which finished four strokes back at 880.
Sarah Brown of Texas Tech claimed medalist honors with a winning score of 212 (-4), good for a four stroke victory over two other golfers.
"I'm proud of the way we battled today in gusty conditions," said USF head coach Sarah Glynn. "It was especailly challenging on the back nine. All in all, I thought it was a solid first showing. We saw some really good golf and were impressed with the progree that our returning players made over the summer. Our birdie count on Monday was unbelievable. That was a strong indication of what we are capable of."
Ayaka Suzuki was USF's top finisher, as the junior tied for 15th after round 73 left her at 222 (+6) for the 54-hole event. Her round was highlighted by an eagle on the par-5 second hole.
Mabel Wong tied for 23rd in her first collegiate event, posting a 23-over score of 223. The freshman was hurt by a triple bogey 8 on the par-5 14th hole and finished with a 4-over 76 for the day.
Emelie Lundstrom was also in the pack at 23-over 223, as the senior closed with a 77 in a round that was highlighted by three birdies.
Vanessa Ha slipped from 10th to 28th place following a final round 81 left her at 225 (+9) for the tournament.
Clare Sorensen tied for 39th at 233 (+17) after her final round 79, which featured back-to-back birdies on her 14 and 14th holes.
USF will return to action at the Rose City Intercollegiate, scheduled for Sept. 28-29 at Langdon Farms Golf Club in Portland.
