The SMU women’s golf team tied for 13th at the UCF Challenge at Eagle Creek Golf Club, completing the third of three rounds on Tuesday morning.
It was the first event for the Mustangs since late October.
They shot 888 (297, 290, 301) as a team, led by junior Jenny Haglund’s three-over (219: 73, 70, 76).
Haglund pared 15 holes as part of her four-over 76 in the final round.
She finished even par on par 3’s and one-under on par 5’s during the 54-hole event.
Her 29th-place individual finish led the team and was her fourth top 30 finish of the season.
Senior Jennifer Park birdied three holes en route to shooting 74 in the final round. She shot 228 for the tournament.
SMU finished the first two rounds in 15th, but moved up two spots on the final day.
Virginia shot 850 to win the tournament.
“We had the opportunity to move up today,” head coach Jeanne Sutherland said.
“The winds were high and there were higher scores across the board. I was happy to see Jennifer close the weekend on a high note.”
Sophomore Evelyn Doyle shot 76 on the final round to finish at 223 (71, 76, 76), sophomore Lindsey McCurdy finished with a three-over 227 (79, 73, 75) and junior Alexandra Rossi shot 224 (74, 72, 78).
The Mustangs next event is the UC Irvine Invitational, which starts on Feb. 23 and will be held at the Santa Ana Country Club.
