Third Straight 6th Place Finish for Cardinals

After Monday's marathon, Tuesday's final round of 18-holes seemed like a sprint to the finish line. Nonetheless, the course was still playing very long after additional rain Monday afternoon.

Once again, the team finished 6th in a very strong field. Brittany captured another top 10, finishing tied for 7th after rounds of 77, 73, and 78. I had a solid tournament shooting scores of 77, 77, and 78 (T15th). Kristtini fired three rounds of 79, 84, and 80. Kirsty shot 84, 82, and 84; and Katie's three round totals were 79, 82, and 89.

Mother Nature decided to make things interesting for us. In Monday's morning round, we saw rain, snow, and hail in a matter of about 45 minutes. But then the sun came out and warmed things up for a while. Thankfully, Tuesday's weather was much nicer. I was able to shed all layers by the end of the day!

Golf is a unique sport in many ways. One of which is how you get to interact with your competitors. My group for the 36-hole day was great. Although they may have been complaining about the weather non-stop, they were nice girls and I enjoyed playing golf with them for 10 plus hours. Golf is also a very international sport, and many teams have players from all over the world (including us!). I love how many different people I get to meet while playing college golf! We played with people from Columbia, Sweden, Australia, Austria, and Bulgaria just to name a few.

So, despite disappointing weather and course conditions, we had a successful trip to Stockbridge, Georgia!

We will be competing again on Sunday and Monday in Southern Illinois' home tournament.
