DADE CITY, Fla. - The University of Memphis Women's Golf team finished sixth at the C-USA Golf Championships. The Lady Tigers shot a 957 (93-over) as team for the week. Memphis' low round was round one when the players combined to shoot a 312. They followed that with a second round score of 324 and shaved three strokes off that score in the final round with a 321.
Marianne Ruud, who was tied for the lead after two rounds, shot a final round 86 (14-over) and ell to 16th place at 236 (20-over) for the tourney. It was still the highest finish of any Memphis golfer. Ruud was named to the All C-USA Second Team culminating her stellar senior year. Appropriately, the second Memphis golfer that was named to the All C-USA Team finished with the second lowest score finishing in 21st place. Jennifer Jaszek shot a 238 (22-over) for the week. She was named to the All C-USA Third Team.
Danielle Reilly earned accolades as well. Reilly, a freshman from Las Vegas, Nevada was named to the All C-USA Freshmen Team. Reilly shot a 244 (28-over) this week at the C-USA Tournament and finished in 29th place amongst individuals.
Senior golfers Abby More and Josey Edwards, playing in their last tournaments shot a 252 (36-over) and a 246 (30-over) respectively. Edwards finished in 32nd place and More placed 37th.
For the fifth time in Conference USA's eight years, South Florida has captured the women's golf championship. The Bulls shot a tournament-low 302 on the final day to finish with a three-day total of 912, edging out second place TCU by one stroke. The Bulls won three straight league championships from 1998-2000 and also captured the league's inaugural crown in 1996. TCU produced the top individual performer, as D'Rae Ward shot a 74 on the final day to finish with an 8-over-par 224, edging out a pair of USF golfers, Katie Ruhe and Jill Crowe, who each fired a nine-over-par 225.
Through 52 holes of the 54-hole Conference USA Women's Golf Championships at Lake Jovial Golf & Country Club, not a single eagle had been carded by any of the 45 golfers. But with the team championship on the line, South Florida's Crowe, playing in the final group, holed a shot from the 17th fairway for an eagle two on the 320-yard hole. It proved to be the difference in USF's one-shot win over TCU.
"It really could not have been a more exciting finish", said South Florida head coach Susan Holt. "I was standing off the 14th green really feeling bad for my seniors, and that's when everything turned around. Katie (Ruhe) chipped in an unbelievable birdey on 16 and then I was told that Fany (Scaheffer) had just birdied 16 ahead of Katie. Then I drove to 18 and found out Megan (Cushman) had finished strong with a 75."
"On Jill's eagle, she said she hit it a little thin from 130 yards and it hit right between the bunker and the pin and rolled down and in," added Holt. "It was really an unbelievable finish and I'm really proud of our team because it looked bad at the 14th."
TCU's Ward nearly pushed the Horned Frogs even on the 18th hole, when she made a 20-foot birdie putt before Crowe finished the hole with a par four. Ward's birdey did give her medalist honors with a 54-hole 224, one shot ahead of Crowe and USF teammate Katie Ruhe, who tied for second place at 225.
USF and TCU entered the final round tied for the team lead and it remained that way even after each team's three golfers had finished their final round.
TCU's Crowe and USF's Ruhe and Ward headline the 10 all-tournament selections. South Florida's Megan Cushman and TCU's Brooke Tull and Shannon Barr also were named, as the Bulls and Frogs combined for six of the 10 spots. The other honorees were UAB's Brooke Mangan, Tulane's Lindsay Hulwick and a pair of East Carolina golfers, Adrienne Millican and Margaret Mitchell.
