Final Results
MACON, Ga.- The No.42 Kennesaw State women's golf team locked up third place after the final round of the Brickyard Collegiate at the Brickyard Golf Course on Tuesday.
The team carded a 12-over par 300 in the third round for a three-round total of 30-over par 894. No.20 Vanderbilt won the event at 5-over par 869. The third-place finish was the Owls eighth in the top five in nine events this season. It also marked KSU's best finish in two appearances at the Brickyard Collegiate.
" We are very happy with our overall result, third in this field is very good with wins over an SEC foe and two ASUN rivals," head coach
Rhyll Brinsmead said. "With that said, we are also disappointed with the way today's round ended. We were pushing to move up the leaderboard and midway through the round the team was executing brilliantly. We stumbled on holes 12-16 and lost our chance at a second-place finish. We will reflect on why this happened and continue to get better. We are playing our best golf heading into the final event of the regular season and will keep fine- tuning before the ASUN championship."
