Gamecocks Keep Climbing at NCAA Championship

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.  –  The South Carolina women’s golf team took care of business carding a 1-under 287 to move into 12th place at the NCAA Championship on Sunday at Grayhawk Golf Club. 

The top 15 teams advance to Monday’s final round of stroke play, with the top eight teams after tomorrow’s round advancing to match play.

Sophomore Pauline Roussin-Bouchard locked in on Sunday with three birdies in her first seven holes before hitting a wall with a double bogey on nine. Roussin-Bouchard refocused after the turn, shooting for par through her next seven holes before sinking birdies on 17 and 18 to finish at 3-under (69), the lowest round of the tournament for any Gamecock. 
 


Fellow sophomore Mathilde Claisse had a steady round, carding an even par (72) after getting back to even with a clutch birdie on 17. Freshman Paula Kirner continued her strong week at Grayhawk with a 1-over (73), while senior Lois Kaye Go shook off her rough Friday and notched a 1-over (73) as well. 


“Good day for the Gamecocks,” head coach Kalen Anderson said after the round. “They did a great job fighting back. Super proud of their resilience today… really steady play and we’re back in the fight. We’re six back of the top eight, just got to go out and post a good round tomorrow. We’re gonna get after it.”

The Gamecocks tee off for Monday’s final round of stroke play at 2:05 p.m. ET, 11:05 a.m. local time. Coverage of the final stroke play round will air on Golf Channel starting at 5 p.m. ET.
