But the Jayhawks started out in a tie for eighth after the first day when they shot 12-over, and did not make up much ground over the course of the following two, ultimately shooting 34-over as a team and falling 12 strokes short of fifth-place conference foe Texas Tech.<\/p>\n<p>The eighth-seeded Red Raiders, at 22-over, advanced to Omni La Costa Resort and Spa along with No. 1 seed USC (1-over), No. 5 seed Ohio State (6-over), No. 2 seed Duke (16-over) and No. 6 seed Northwestern (17-over). Failing to qualify but ahead of KU was No. 3 seed UCF (24-over), and after the Jayhawks came No. 4 seed Oklahoma (41-over) and No. 9 seed UNLV (41-over), No. 10 seed Columbia (51-over), No. 11 seed Quinnipiac (72-over) and No. 12 seed Oakland (82-over).<\/p>\n<p>Northwestern\u2019s Ashley Yun, who shot 5-under for a one-stroke victory, was the individual champion. The best individual not on an advancing team, who will move on to nationals, was Minnesota\u2019s Isabella McCauley, who finished in fourth place at 3-under.<\/p>\n<p>The best Jayhawk of the week was the highly consistent Swedish sophomore Ebba Nordstedt, who shot 2-over and tied for 11th in the regional. She eagled the 13th hole in her first round on Monday, when she shot 1-over; she was then even on Tuesday and 1-over on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Senior Anna Wallin tied for 26th at 8-over. She had finished below par on Tuesday. Also in action for the Jayhawks were fellow senior Amy DeKock (tied for 38th at 13-over), freshman Kinslea Jones (tied for 42nd at 15th-over) and last year\u2019s regional champion, junior Lyla Louderbaugh (tied for 50th at 19-over). Freshman Marieke Ebens served as a substitute.<\/p>\n<p>KU\u2019s season came to a close in regional play after it had won both team and individual titles in regional competition last year in Columbus, Ohio. <\/p>\n<p>The Jayhawks are not expected to have much roster turnover this offseason. DeKock has exhausted her eligibility and will pursue a professional career, but head coach Lindsay Kuhle has said that Wallin will come back for another year; she did not compete during her sophomore season (2023-24). Those were the only two seniors on this year\u2019s roster.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; photo by: Darren Carroll\/USGA &#13; Amy DeKock plays her second shot at the fourth hole&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":668942,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,322827,322828,85],"class_list":["post-668941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-ku-sports","tag-ku-women","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=668941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668941\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/668942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
