Final Results

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Junior Madison Caldwell's historic performance led the Kennesaw State women's golf team to a third-place finish at the 2017 Lady Paladin Invitational on Sunday (Sept. 24) at the par-72, 6,278-yard Furman University Golf Course.

"This was a great start to season for the team," Kennesaw State head coach Rhyll Brinsmead said. " The execution, focus and course management was everything we prepped for. I'm so proud of the team and very satisfied all our preparation paid off. We bested our goals and set records. We also had a great time on the course and the team chemistry was contagious. Madison set a new individual 54 hole scoring record, and I'm so proud of her. She dominated the par 5's this week and took advantage of her scoring opportunities. We've got a week to prep for Missouri, the momentum from this event will set the tone for the rest of the season."

Caldwell turned in the low KSU round of the day and season with a 5-under par 67 to finish third overall with a 7-under par 209 total.
