White breaks tournament record

Senior Melanie White broke the Johnie Imes Invitational tournament record Tuesday.

With a 3-under finish on Tuesday and 8-under, 208, for the tournament, White lead the Mustangs to the team’s second tournament victory of the season.

White described her play in the tournament as “fun” to SMU Athletics. Her 11 birdies in the last two rounds and solo bogey are proof of White’s description of the successful weekend.

Along with breaking the tournament 54-hole record, White also tied the event record for low single round with her second round score of 65.

“We’re headed in the right direction,” White told SMU Athletics.

SMU finished the first round Monday one stroke behind first place Kansas State.

However, Tuesday in the second round the team finished 4-under – a tournament low.

The strong finish put the Mustangs in first place with nine strokes under tournament host Missouri.

Sophomore Jennifer Park scored her second consecutive top-10 finish.

Park finished tied for sixth at 2-over par.

Junior Maria Elena Villamil finished tied for No. 27 with 10-over par, and freshman Alexandra Rossi finished tied for No. 30.

The team, with the momentum of two wins out of its last three events under its belt, heads to Norman, Okla. for more competition in the Susie Maxwell Berning Invitational hosted by the University of Oklahoma Oct. 15.
