ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Kansas women's golf team finished in seventh place at the NCAA Ann Arbor Regionals after recording a 54-hole team score of 886 (+34).
"I'm really proud of our fight on the back nine today," Kansas coach Linsday Kuhle said. "We were 14-over on the front nine and easily could've just given up and quit because things were tough. The weather was tough and the course was hard, but we fought."
USC won the regional with a score of 853 (+1) and qualified for the NCAA Championship. Other NCAA Championship qualifiers included Ohio State (+6), Duke (+16), Northwestern (+17), and Texas Tech (+22). The NCAA Championship will be held May 22-27 at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa's Champions Course in Carlsbad, California. Additionally, Isabella McCauley of the University of Minnesota qualified for the NCAA Championship by being the lowest scoring individual not on an advancing team.
