Sophomore Alix Kong's final round 68 set a new career-best

FAIRFAX, California – The Indiana women's golf team used a final round score of 288 to move up from eighth place at the start of the day and finish in fourth place with a total score of 592 (+16). The round was the second-best round posted on the day at the Meadow Club near San Francisco.

The Hoosiers finished ahead of No. 11 Washington, No. 26 BYU and No. 48 San Francisco and post their best team finish of the year, equaling their finish in the stroke play portion of the East-West Match Play on Sept. 20, 2015.

The round of the day for IU was carded by sophomore Alix Kong, who was playing in her first team event of the season. She finished six birdies and two bogeys for a score of 68, just one shot behind the best round of the day and also a career-best. She moved from a tie for 51^st after her first round to a tie for 16^th following her superb round on Tuesday. The T16 finish is also a career best for the West Vancouver, B.C., native.

Also closing the tournament on a high note was senior Camille Chevalier, who finished her round on Tuesday at 1-under par 71. That score is her best since she carded a 69 at the Las Vegas Intercollegiate on Oct. 27 and it gave her a total score of 148 (+4) and a tie for 16^th with Kong.

Ana Sanjuan's score of 74 put her overall score at 154 for the two rounds and gave her a tie for 45^th while Pear Siriko was two shots better at 152 after she closed with a 75 on Tuesday.

Rounding out the IU lineup on Tuesday was freshman Erin Harper, who registered a score of 80 after opening the tournament with a round of 2-under par 70 on Monday. Her overall score of 150 left her tied for 19^th individually.

The Hoosiers next tournament will be the Briar's Creek Invitational in Johns Island, South Carolina on March 21-22.
