STANFORD, Calif. - Another tournament, another top-five finish for the Oregon State women's golf team as the Beavers fired the second-best round among the 12-team final on Sunday to finish in a tie for fourth at the Peg Barnard Invitational.
The Beavers posted a 16-over 300 on Sunday at the par-71, 6,092-yard Stanford Golf Course to knock eight strokes off their opening round 308 and move up from sixth place to a tie for fourth with Fresno State and make it four top-five finishes in their six tournaments this season.
"We got off to a rocky start today but really fought back and moved up the leader board," Oregon State head coach Risë Alexander said. "I am seeing some great improvements on our team. We are excited to come back and do quality work on our golf game. I am definitely seeing a team culture develop that holds success as an expectation. They are are demanding more from their commitment to performing at a high level."
