For the first time this season, the Kansas women’s golf team brought home a first-place finish this weekend. The team traveled to Rio Verde, Ariz., for the Duramed Collegiate Invitational at the Rio Verde Country Club. The final team score for Kansas was 294-295-294-883, which made them the only team to stay under 900 for the three-day tournament.
Junior Meghan Gockel led the team with scores of 73 on Friday, 72 on Saturday and 73 on Sunday. Gockel’s score of 218 tied her for first on the final day but she medaled for first place at the first playoff hole. This was the first individual title for Gockel and her career best score for a three-round tournament.
Kansas had four other athletes finish in the top 15 of the tournament. Junior Emily Powers, sophomore Meghna Bal and freshman Kalynd Carson tied for tenth place with a final score of 225. Powers went 74-75-76, Bal went 78-75-72, and Carson went 72-80-73. For Carson and Wilson this was also a career best performance. Sophomore Sydney Wilson tied for 15th place with a score of 75-73-78 with a final score of 226.
The next tournament for Kansas will be the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic in Ahtens, Georgia, March 27-29.
