--- Freshman Katelyn Stanier has incredible third round to finish 11th ---
Oct. 17, 2006
After the first two rounds yesterday, Samford sat at sixth place with just about equal scores in each round. However, the Bulldogs showed much improvement in the final round, improving 20 strokes from yesterday’s performance.
“Although we did not move up, shooting 310 and improving that much on this course is remarkable,” Samford head golf coach Ian Thompson said. “That is the best we have ever shot on this course.”
Freshman Katelyn Stanier (80-84-71 = 235) was the standout player today for the Bulldogs, shooting one under par in the third round. This 13-stroke improvement from round two brought Stanier to an 11th place finish today, five places up from her 16th place tie yesterday.
“Katelyn Stanier definitely played rock solid golf today,” said Thompson. “This now has both of our freshmen shooting a round under par and they have only played in three tournaments.”
Sophomore Maria Troche (78-83-77 = 238) dropped one spot, from 12th to 13th place, but improved six strokes from yesterday. Freshman Heather Arnold stayed at 22nd place, shooting 80 in the final round, bring here final scores to 87-80-80 = 247. Sophomore Kellie O’Connell (86-83-82 = 251) dropped two places to 29th place, improving one stroke from round two. Rounding out the Bulldogs was junior Courtney Warr, who tied for 34th place (85-87-86 = 258).
“We take a lot of positives from the final round,” said Thompson. “We beat Tennessee Tech, who typically has a good team, by 45 strokes. We had a lot of fun, despite the weather yesterday, and we take pride in our improvement.”
