Women’s golf team places seventh in Schooner Fall Classic

The SMU Women’s Golf team finished seventh out of 17 teams at Schooner Fall Classic at the Belmar Golf Club in Norman, Okla. this past weekend. The Mustangs finished the event on a high note with a 1-under 279 on Monday, their best score of the tournament. Their total score for the three-day tournament was a 5-over 845.

“There was not a bad team in this field so I am proud of how we did,” Head Coach Jeanne Sutherland said. “Some of the best teams in the country were here and we played with them.”

Junior Jenny Haglund, who won the individual American Athletic Conference title last spring, tied for fourth with a 5-under 205. She sealed her spot by shooting a 1-under 69 on her last round.

“I am happy for Jenny,” Sutherland said. “She did everything well all weekend. I was pleased [with] how well she was driving the ball and her putting. Her approach was great and she finished ahead of some really great golfers.”

Haglund’s fourth-place tie was her best result through three tournaments this fall. The only blemish during her Monday round was a bogey on the 18th hole, which caused her to fall a stroke behind third-place finisher Jessica Peng of Mississippi State. Peng’s teammate, Ally McDonald, claimed the first-place title at 13-under.

Senior Jennifer Park shot an even-par 210, which was good for a six-way tie for 15th place. Sophomore Katie Page shot a 6-over 216 to place 43rd in the tournament.

Only three teams finished the tournament under par. Mississippi State (-22) cruised to a first-place finish, finishing 19 strokes ahead of second-place Arkansas (-3).

Next up for the Mustangs is the Betsy Rawls Invitational, which starts on Oct. 12. It will be played at the University of Texas Golf Course and will be hosted by Texas.
