Last Time Out
The Wyoming women's golf team closed out play at the Red Rocks Invitational on Sunday at the par-71, 5,919-yard Agave Highlands Golf Course, locking up the lowest team event score in school history.
Â
The Cowgirls took seventh as a team, turning in a 9-over 293 in their final round to finish with a 20-over 872 for the 54-hole team score. That total shatters the previous program low—a 24-over 888, set in the fall of 2017 at the Ram Fall Classic.
Â
Junior
Erin Sargent also turned in a performance worthy of being included in the Cowgirl record books, as she turned in a 1-over 214 on the week to tie herself for the seventh-lowest individual tournament score-to-par in school history.
Â
Sargent finished the event in a tie for 10th following an even-par 71 in her final round. The finish marked Sargent's second top-10 performance of the season.
