Gamecocks Finish Seventh at ANNIKA Intercollegiate

Lake Elmo, Minn. – The No. 10 South Carolina women’s golf team weathered harsh conditions on the final day of the ANNIKA Intercollegiate, finish in seventh in the first tournament of the season.
 
“Today was extremely tough; windy conditions in an exceptionally strong field,” head coach Kalen Anderson said. “We have a very talented group that will only get sharper as the season continues. We have plenty to work on and look forward to the progress.”

Weather delayed Wednesday’s start by two hours, but the Gamecocks battled through the conditions to retain their place on a leaderboard full of change. Freshman Pauline Roussin-Bouchard led the way for Carolina on Wednesday with a 72, finishing in a tie for 15^th place. Her three birdies led the team.
 
Emily Price finished in a tie for 15^th place as well, going 3-over today. She parred the final seven holes to finish strong despite the inclement weather.
 
Ana Pelaez finished tied for 19^th place after running into some trouble on the back nine today. Mathilde Claisse tied for 45^th place, and Anita Uwadia finished tied for 52^nd.
 
The Gamecocks return to Columbia to prepare for their next tournament, the Windy City Invitational. Action gets underway at the Glen View Club in Wilmette, Ill. on September 30.
