Purdue, No. 23 in the latest Golfstat rankings, capped a productive week by capturing the team
title at the 3M Augusta Invitational Sunday with a final round of 6-over 294 at
Forest Hills Golf Club in Augusta, Ga.
Coming off a solid showing at the Gifford Great 8 Collegiate
Match Play Championship last week in Los Angeles where the Boilermakers got match-play
experience against the likes of Southern California, Ohio State and Colorado,
Purdue headed for Augusta, where it wrapped up the team title Sunday with a
14-over 878 total.
No. 33 Tennessee came into the final round tied with Purdue,
but the Volunteers posted a 298 in the final round to finish four shots back of
the Boilermakers in second at 18-over 882. Host Augusta, ranked 45th,
had the best round Sunday, a 2-over 290, to finish third at 21-over 885.
No. 73 Memphis had a final-round 300 to finish fourth at
24-over 888 and No. 100 Troy carded a final-round 297 to take fifth at 29-over
893.
Purdue was led by reigning Big Ten champion August Kim, a
senior from St. Augustine, Fla. who finished third in the individual standings
at 2-under 214. Kim added an even-par 72 over the 6,248-yard, par-72 Forest Hills layout in the final round to steady rounds of
72 and 71.
The Boilermakers got another top-five finish from Covadonga
SanJuan, a sophomore from Spain who matched Kim’s final-round 72 to finish in a
tie for fifth at 3-over 219.
Micaela Farah, a freshman from Peru, finished tied for 11th
at 5-over 221 after a final-round 75, Marta Martin, a junior from Spain,
finished tied for 30th at 228 with a final-round 79 and Linn
Andersson, a junior from Sweden, finished tied for 40th at 230,
although her final-round 75 was big for the final team result.
Purdue’s Ida Ayu Indira Melati Putri, a sophomore from Bali,
competed as an individual and finished tied for 52nd at 233 after a
final-round 78.
The individual title went to Augusta’s Jessica Haigwood, a
senior from Roswell, Ga. Haigwood’s final round of 5-under 67 was easily the
best of the day as she left the field behind with a 12-under 204 total.
Daytona State College’s Jiwon Jeon finished alone in second
at 5-under 211, seven shots back of Haigwood. Jeon had opened with a sizzling
7-under 65 before adding consecutive 73s.
Following Purdue’s Kim was Troy’s Bianca Lohbauer, a
sophomore from South Africa who finished alone in fourth at 1-under 215 after a
final round of 2-under 70.
