Rutgers Women's Golf Set to Compete in Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational

This is an event the women should be able to contend if not the championship, a Top 3 finish. Behind #55 Kansas St and #83 Sam Houston State, Rutgers is the 3rd highest ranked team at #93. This is a small field with only 9 teams competing and 1 competing as individuals.

Rutgers will start 2 Frosh as Krystal Li (Canada) gets her first start, replacing Lucretia Rossettin in the lineup. The other 4 starters are the regular lineup of Leigha Devine, Rikke Nordvik, Cathi Graf and Frosh Lorena Rossettin. The 3rd Frosh, Emily James (England), will be competing as an individual.

Not setting the world on fire almost half way thru the final round with the 2nd worst score to this point. Fortunately no one else is playing all that much better.
 
Rutgers never threatened the top 3, shooting 20 Over Par in today's final round. Overall the 3 Round total of 37 over was good enough to hold on to 4th Place, 11 strokes behind 3rd Place Kansas State. Not a good or bad tourney, finishing about where they were expected. It will likely get harder as the season goes along as this wasn't a particularly strong field.
