Final Results

The Bobcats finished their lone tournament of the month in Hawai’i on Tuesday.

EWA BEACH, Hawai'i — Finishing its final round at Hawai'i's Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational, the Montana State women's golf team placed ninth out of the 11-team tournament held at the Hoakalei Country Club course, on Tuesday, March 7.

Montana State finished with a three-round score of 66-over 930 (319-312-299). The Bobcats finished ahead of Towson and Western Michigan and 14 strokes behind the host team Hawai'i.

"These were not the results we wanted as a team, but we did have some individual rounds that were positive," Montana State Head Coach Brittany Basye said. "Conditions here in Hawai'i are different from what we are used to playing, and that definitely caused some issues. Each tournament is an opportunity for us all to learn from the good and bad. We have two tournaments before conference, so we have time to focus and dig deep."

Senior Kameryn Basye was MSU's best finisher with a three-round score of 14-over 230 (73-78-79), which was 33rd place out of 69 athletes. She hovered around the top 10 on the final day and wrapped up her final round with a 7-over 79.

"Kameryn's first round yesterday, plus Lauren Greeny and Maddie Montoya's rounds from today were very good," Brittany Basye said.

Playing her best round of the tournament, freshman Lauren Greeny shot up the standings with her 2-under 70 — the best round played by any Bobcat at the event. She finished one stroke behind Basye in a tie for 34th place with a three-round score of 15-over-231 (80-81-70). Fellow freshman Maddie Montoya was the only other Bobcat to shoot under par on Tuesday with a 1-under 71; she finished in a tie for 39th with a three-round score of 16-over 232 (85-76-71).

"Lauren and Maddie responded well today with great rounds under par," Brittany Basye said. "That's solid play."

Scarlet Weidig Velazquez finished in a tie for 51st, while Jordan Briggs rounded out MSU's top five by tying for 58th place.

Long Beach State's Angelina Kim defeated her teammate Hannah Ko in a two-hole playoff to earn medalist honors. Kim finished with a three-round score of 2-over-218 (74-76-68). Big Sky Conference foe Sacramento State won the team title with an 18-over 882 (297-298-287).

From here, the Bobcats will have a nearly a monthlong reprieve before traveling to Maricopa, Ariz. for the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic, held at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes from April 3-4.
