Montana State finished its best round of the tournament to begin the day by firing a second-round score of 310, but struggled on its final 18 holes by shooting a 318. The Bobcats carded 948 strokes to finish 19th in the team standings.
PHOENIX, Ariz. – The Montana State golf team wrapped up its second tournament of its spring portion of its schedule on Sunday, Feb. 24, as the Bobcats closed out the second and third rounds at the GCU Invitational.
Montana State finished its best round of the tournament to begin the day by firing a second-round score of 310, but struggled on its final 18 holes by shooting a 318. The Bobcats carded 948 strokes to finish 19th in the team standings.
"We definitely didn't play our best golf," Montana State head coach Brittany Basye said. :We didn't play well. We are better than that and there's no excuses.
"We hit some good shots, but our bad was pretty bad. We need more pars and we need to play fearless."
Junior Kelly Hooper shot a Bobcat-best 76 in the second round and followed it with a 77 in the third round. She tied for 69th overall by shooting 18-over-par 234.
Delaney Elliott recorded back-to-back scores of 77 and 78 to complete her tournament appearance Sunday. She tied for 72nd with 235 strokes.
Coral Schulz, Lilly Navarre and Hailey Oster rounded out MSU's scoring lineup. Schulz placed 89th in the individual standings with a 241, Navarre tied for 93rd with a 244 and Oster tied for 99th by ending her 54-hole spring opener tied for 99th at 249.
Toledo won the team title by recording 877 strokes. South Dakota State's Teresa Toscano claimed the individual title by carding a 4-under 212.
"I have faith that these ladies will keep working hard and find their games and will be ready in a couple weeks when we head to NAU," Basye said.
The Bobcats return to play on March 23 when they appear at the Red Rocks Invitational in Sedona, Arizona.
