BROOKSVILLE, Florida – The UNT women’s golf team fell one shot shy of its best-ever finish at the American Conference Championship.
The Mean Green ended the three-day 11-team event on Wednesday in sixth place with a three-round score of 893 (+29) but was just one stroke from a program record fourth-place finish. On Wednesday North Texas had its best round of this year’s event as they shot a 293 (+5) to propel themselves up two positions.
Senior Malisone Chanthapanya ended the championship with a team-best score of 220 (+4), which was good enough for a seventh-place finish on the player leaderboard. It’s her fourth top 10 finish of the year.
After a less-than-ideal start to the championship on Monday that saw the Mean Green shoot a 306 (+18) in round one and sit in 10th place, UNT dug its way out with the event’s third-best score over the final two rounds.
North Texas shot a 587 (+11) over the final two rounds. Only the event’s champion Tulsa and runner-up Charlotte were better over the final two rounds.
The Mean Green’s Chanthapanya was the last on her team to finish the round Wednesday. UNT needed her shoot a one-under par on her final two holes for the Mean Green to finish the championship in a tie for fourth place. The senior bogeyed the first of her final two holes — a par three — and then birdied her final hole.
UNT finished one stroke behind East Carolina and Florida Atlantic who each shot a 892 (+28) and finished in the tie for fourth place.
