ST. GEORGE, Utah – In the third and final round of the BYU at Entrada Classic, the University of San Francisco women's golf team responded with a strong closing round and captured ninth for the tournament.
USF finished 36-over 900 (294-310-296) at the par-72 Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club. On the final round, the Dons finished with an 8-over 296 – the fifth lowest round of the day. USF had two golfers finishing inside the top-30 led by
Pearl Rojanapeansatith and
Jade Siphomsay.
"The team played well today shooting 296 – unfortunately that wasn't good enough to move up, in fact we moved down in the standings," said head coach
Sara Doell. "Regardless of the finish in the field, I am proud of the way the team played and how they represented USF. Pearl had a great round with 2-under par followed by strong showings from Joan and Jade. It is nice to see that anyone can lead us on any day. Having depth in the team is really going to help us in the future. We will head home and take a few days off before we host at the Meadow Club!"
