Bulls finish play at the Valspar August Invitational
AUGUSTA, Ga. (March 13, 2022) – The University of South Florida women's golf team concluded play at its third spring event, and second this week, competing at the Valspar Augusta Invitational. The Bulls placed 16th in the strong field that included eight teams ranked inside the Golfstat Top 50 rankings.
The tournament was originally slated for 54 holes played over two days, but high winds on Monday limited play to just 18 holes and the outing was cut to just 36 holes with the final round played on Tuesday.
South Florida had a difficult round on Monday, shooting a 338, but rebounded with a 298 on Tuesday which was tied for 10th in the final round.
Coming off her first collegiate win at the Trinity Forest Invitational and American Golfer of the Week honors, Melanie Green led the Bulls once again in Augusta with her sixth top-25 finish in seven outings this season. Green carded an 80 on Monday and finished with an even-par 72 on Tuesday.
Freshman Juliana Camargo, playing as an individual at the tournament, tied for 46th overall and matched a career low with a round of 75 on Tuesday. Morgan Baxendale shot rounds of 81 and 76 to tie for 55th individually.
Leonor Medeiros totaled a two-round score of 161, Ana Maria Barriga shot 167 and Ashley Zagers posted a 168.
