VICTORIA, Texas–Senior Meghna Bal carded a 227 and finished tied for third place as the Kansas women’s golf team finished second at the Claud Jacobs Intercollegiate in Victoria, Texas on Monday. The Jayhawks rebounded from a tough second round to move up two spots and grab the runner-up position.

Grace Thiry finished tied for 10th as the senior shot a 77 in the final round to finish at 230 for the tournament. Freshman Meghan Potee tied for 16th and was only on stroke back from Thiry at 231.
Thanuttra Boonraksasat got off to a fast start on Sunday as the freshman was in second place after the first round, but cooled off in the final two rounds and tied for 21st.
Junior Katy Nugent tied for 53rd with a three round score of 246. Competing as an individual, senior Jennifer Clark tied for 49th after carding a 245.
