IU posts 15th-place finish at MountainView Invitational

After the IU women’s golf team left the course Friday in 15th place in the MountainView Invitational after two rounds at the MountainView Golf Course in Tucson, Ariz., the squad finished in the same spot Friday.

The Hoosiers posted a final round score of 296 and 8-over par, after rounds of 300 and 311 Saturday.

The Hoosiers (907) finished 50 shots back of tournament-winner Iowa State (857), which finished at seven-under par with four players in the top 20.

IU sophomore Kate Coons and freshman Lindsay Gahm both led the team for the tournament, both tying for 36th. Coons had the best round of the tournament for IU, shooting a 69 in Saturday’s final round, the team’s only under-par round of the tournament. Coon’s 69 was her season-best round and tied for her career-low round as a Hoosier golfer.

Gahm finished the tournament with a final-round 76, after rounds of 72 and 75 Friday, giving her a tournament-total of 223.

“I felt like the girls did some really good things this weekend and showed a lot of effort,” IU coach Clint Wallman said. “Kate had a great round with her 69, but we just really didn’t have the consistency from top to bottom.”
