Lady Raider Golf Completes Play in UTSA Alamo Invitational

The Texas Tech Lady Raider golf team wrapped up play in the UTSA Alamo Invitational Tuesday afternoon with an 8^th place finish, 25 strokes behind tournament host and winner UTSA.

Texas Tech put itself in a position to make a final-day run for the tournament win, as the 20^th-ranked Lady Raiders combined to shoot 5-under at the Briggs Ranch Golf Club in San Antonio.

The 283-card had helped Tech move from seventh to fifth overall thanks to the second-lowest round of the day that ranked only behind Nebraska’s tournament-record 8-under card that moved the Huskers atop the leaderboard at 2-under overall.

The Lady Raiders struggled on the final day however, carding a 311 overall to give them the 8^th place finish.

Tournament host UTSA put together the best final round with a 290 to claim the title, with a total score of 866, and finish three-strokes better than second place and 23^rd ranked Baylor Bears.

The 17^th ranked Aggies finished third, followed by Kentucky and Nebraska to round out the top-five.

TCU and Texas State checked in at 6^th and 7^th ahead of the Lady Raiders, with fellow in-state institution SMU finishing in the 14^th and final spot.

Individually the Lady Raiders were led by Kim Kaufman who carded a 219. She was followed by Elin Arvidsson’s 224, with Beverly Mendoza and Deborah DeVilla both shooting a 227.
