Squad wraps up regular season with 10th place finish in Ohio

Unusually high scores seemed to be the trend at the Lady Buckeye Spring Invite, where the IU women’s golf team played its final regular season tournament before starting the postseason with the Big Ten Championships next week.  

Joined by eight other Big Ten schools, the Hoosiers finished 10th, 64 shots behind tournament winner Michigan State.

The team consistently sat in 10th through all three rounds, shooting 322 in each of the first two rounds before closing the tournament with a final round 338. Junior Kristtini Cain led the team individually, finishing tied for 28th with a 241 and was the only player to shoot in the 70s twice.

Freshman Lindsay Gahm finished in 35th, two shots back from Cain after shooting a 76 in the first round. She then stumbled in the final two rounds, shooting an 85 and an 82.
Sophomores Jacqueline Yanch and Kate Coons followed, finishing 54th and 63rd respectively.

“I think we’re really close, and we all just need to play our own games because we’re all good enough to win the tournament,” Gahm said. “I think we all just need to come together and play well on the same days and see if we can find a win.”
