CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The University of Louisville women's golf team finished the final round of Ruth's Chris Tar Heel Invitational this afternoon, placing in a tie for 5th overall. This marks the best team finish of the season for the Cardinals, who shot 19-over-par 883 through three rounds of play.
The University of Kentucky topped the leader board, shooting 4-under-par 860 as a team.
Sophomore Carmen Griffiths finished in a tie for 6th place individually, carding a 1-under-par 215 (72-67-76). Griffiths was awarded with a plaque during the trophy ceremony for her ace on hole 14 in the second round of the tournament.
"Carmen has been playing really well this fall with a top 10 finish and two top five finishes in our last three events. It won't be long before she has her first collegiate win," said program Head Coach Whitney Young.
Graduate student Mairead Martin finished in a tie for 20th overall, carding 5-over-par 221 with her season best single round score of 71 in round two.
In her first tournament of the season, Agustina Gomez Cisterna finished in a tie for 40th, shooting 10-over-par 226. Gabbi Bentancourt finished in a tie for 48th, carding a 12-over-par 228 and Rylee Suttor finished in a tie for 63rd with a score of 17-over-par 233.
"Going back and looking at the Ruth's Chris Tar Heel Invitational, I think we have a lot of positives we can take with us to our final fall event in Bowling Green, KY at Club at Olde -Stone," said Young.
"I am excited to see what we can do by taking our momentum into Olde-Stone," said Young. "We have a lot of support there with being so close to home and we are looking forward to defending our title from last year."
The Cardinals will close out their fall season as they travel to Bowling Green, Ky. to play in The Club at Olde Stone Intercollegiate on Oct. 24-25.
