With a 72 par at Reflection Ridge, Wilson fired a two over 74 in her final two rounds and a three-round total of 226. The Lawrence native finished eight strokes behind Elisa Houtz of Manhattan who shot a 218 (73-69-76) in the championship flight.
KU redshirt freshman Alyssa Rainbolt, from Wichita, was in a three-way tie for ninth overall (81-77-78–236), but lost a playoff for a top 10 individual medal to Krista Hrdlicka of Wahoo, Neb., and Gail Burden of Winfield, Kan.
Wilson’s finished marked the second straight year a KU golfer has placed in the top five of the Kansas Women’s Amateur Golf Championship. KU senior Annie Giangrosso won the event last summer.
