Apr 17 | Women's Golf
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Rutgers women's golf closed out action at the Buckeye Invitational on Saturday in Columbus. The Scarlet Knights finished ninth in the 14-team field, which featured six ranked teams and five Big Ten programs.
Battling strong wind gusts, sophomore Joline Truong tied for 26th, while classmate Judy Amano finished 35th to pace RU at the Ohio State University Golf Course.
"This was not the performance we were expecting this weekend," said head coach Kari Williams. "We struggled to get ourselves in position and missing the fairways was punishing because of the thick rough and did not roll in many putts. We have had a great spring far and we will get ourselves back on track this week before teeing it up at Big Tens."
RU tallied a 72-over-par 936 (307-313-316) across its three rounds. Host Ohio State won the team title with a 26-over-par 890 (295-294-301), followed by No. 25 Iowa State (+28) and No. 30 Kent State (+30). Xavier's Madison Reemsnyder captured the individual crown with a three-under-par 213 (73-72-68).
Day Two – Saturday, April 18
Weather: Cloudy, Temps in the high-60s, 10-20 mph winds
Truong produced her third consecutive five-over par 77 on Saturday, rolling in two birdies on holes 12 and 18. Rookie Elizabeth Ryu moved up 10 spots on the leaderboard thanks to her five-over-par 77, adding 13 pars in her final round.
Amano dropped back seven spots to still finish within the top 40. Junior Emily James carded a nine-over-par 81 to tie for 44th, while redshirt senior Grace Lu rounded out the team scorecard tied for 50th. Competing as an individual, junior Krystal Li finished 54th.
Day One – Friday, April 17
Weather: Sunny, Temps in the mid-70s, 5-10 mph winds
Amano opened Friday with a three-over-par 75, highlighted by birdies on holes nine and 16. Amano followed three birdies in the second round to finish the day tied for 28th. Truong also had two birdies in the opening round, carding back-to-back 77s to also tie for 28th.
Lu was 33rd with an 11-over-par 155. James was 42nd, while Ryu was 70th to round out the team scorecard. Competing as an individual, Li was 50th rolling in four birdies across her two rounds.
