ST. GEORGE, Utah (March 14, 2017) – The University of Wyoming women's golf team concluded the BYU at Entrada Classic on Tuesday afternoon with the final round of play. The Cowgirls finished the tournament in fourth place out of 12 tough and competitive teams for their fourth top-five finish of the season. UW had its best round of the tournament with a 302 (+14) on Tuesday and finished with a 909 (+45).
"I am very proud of the all around team effort and great finish in a solid field," UW head coach
