Murray State women’s golf secured the first Missouri Valley Conference Title in Program history on Tuesday at TPC Deere Run in SIlvis, Illinois. In spectacular fashion, the Racers overcame a 12-stroke deficit throughout the final round to take the team championship by one stroke, outpacing Bradley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
MSU fired a 304+318+301=923 across the 54-hole tournament. The final round 301 was 10-strokes better than the next closest team score for the round.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elin Tynan<\/a> and Ella Scherer<\/a> paced the Racers, each finishing tied for fifth individually at 15-over par for the week. Patti Patterson<\/a>, Tina Von Arx<\/a>, and Katherine Weir<\/a> all finished inside the top 20 of the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n The title marks Murray State’s first women’s golf championship since 2019 and marks the program’s 13th conference championship in it’s 33-year history. This gives Head Coach Phillip Nelson his first title in his four-year tenure at MSU.<\/p>\n NCAA\u00a0regionals will be contested May 11-13 across six host sites with 12 teams at each site.<\/p>\n
