JOHN ISLAND, S.C. – Kansas sophomore Yupaporn “Mook” Kawinpakorn led the 40th-ranked KU women’s golf team to a seventh-place finish at the Briar’s Creek Intercollegiate at the Golf Club at Briar’s Creek in John Island, S.C., Tuesday. Mook recorded a final round 72 (E), bringing her total to 223 (+7), placing her in a tie for 15th.

“I’m very pleased with how we played today,” head coach Erin O’Neil said. “I think we are close to putting some really low scores together as a team. “Overall we need to continue to improve our course management along with our putting. We had a few too many three-putts.”
Freshman Pornvipa “Faii” Sakdee sat at three-over par with five holes left to play and went on a tear as she birdied three of her final five holes bringing her third round score to 72 (E).
