Golf doesn't budge, finishes ninth

Golf doesn’t budge, finishes ninth

The days change, but the overall standings never did for the Bobcats this weekend at Dayton Beach. Quinnipiac finished the NEC Championship tournament in ninth place.

“These ladies have worked harder than I ever expected and deserve a great deal of credit the way they carry themselves and represent Quinnipiac,” head coach John O’Connor said. “I couldn't be prouder of them. Every day it seems as if they know they are setting the standard for hard work for all future women's golfers at Quinnipiac.” 

The same storyline also continued through all three days with temperatures in the mid to high 80s and with Kayla Ketcheson leading the Bobcats.

Today, Ketcheson had her best round of the weekend shooting an 80 (40-40, +8). After shooting an 82 on Friday and Saturday, Ketcheson was able to string together a bit more consistency today. Ketcheson’s round three was the first round all weekend where she did not double bogey at least one hole.

Hannah Russell once again finished second on the team, shooting an 87 (42-45, +15). Russell was the only Bobcat today with a birdie.

Nicole Ferretti continued her improvements again today shooting a weekend best 90 (46-44, +18). Today’s round is a two stroke improvement from day two and a five stroke improvement from day one.

After struggling yesterday, Jen Forlenza also shot a 90 (46-44, +18). After shooting a 99 yesterday, Forlenza improved nine strokes, including six pars.

Amanda Nagel never could hit her stride today and ended the day with a 92 (44-48, +20).

Nagel and Ferretti are the only two seniors that competed for Quinnipiac in the tournament. With just three seniors and an exciting recruiting class ready for next season, the future looks promising for more improvements.
