The SMU women’s golf team finished fifth at the Central District Invitational. The collegiate tournament took place Monday and Tuesday, and the play of junior Jennifer Park led SMU to the fifth-place finish.

Golfing at Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club, Park finished day two of the tournament with one-under 71 to ultimately finish in sixth place (-4). The four-under finish is the best score posted by an SMU player this season.

Park’s teammate Katie Page, a freshman, finished day two with a score of a career-best two-under 70. She ended up at 18th overall in the individual rankings.

“We played very consistently throughout the lineup this week,” Head Coach Jeanne Sutherland remarked. The results would agree.

The Mustangs finished the tournament under par for the first time since the 2005-06 season at the Northwestern Invitational.

Vanderbilt won the team title, coming from behind Tuesday. They shot seven-under in the final round and 20-under overall.

The Mustangs have about a month off before returning to action Mar. 11 in the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.
