Wyoming heads to Mountain West Championships Next Week
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (April 10, 2024) – The Wyoming Cowgirl golfers wrap up the regular season on a high note breaking the school record for scoring in a 54-hole event with a team score of 871 (+7) on Wednesday at the Bobcat Desert Classic at the Golf Club at Estrella in Goodyear, Ariz. The Cowgirls finished tied for third for the best finish of the season.
"Overall a very solid tournament for us heading into the MW Championships," UW head coach Josey Stender said. "We beat some great teams even though we had to scramble to score today. Morgan struck the ball the best she has all season and just couldn't get anything to drop. We have had a very consistent top of the lineup and I think this event gives a lot of confidence to a more balanced team score."
The previous school record was 876 (+12) at the Colonel Wollenberg Ram Fall classic in September of 2022.
Morgan Ryan led the Cowgirls for her first career top-10 finish tying for 10th at 215 (-1) for the lowest tournament of her career. She shot a 74 (+3) for the final round. Jadan Gonzalez tied for 22nd with a 219 (+3) for the event after a 77 (+5) on Wednesday.
Kyla Wilde finished with a 75 (+3) on Wednesday and finished right outside the top-25 tying for 26th at 220 (+4). Tomine Bjerkelo finished at 225 (+9) for a tie for 56th. Grace Dunkleberger added a 230 (+14). Sophie Spiva was at 228 (+12) and Samantha Spielman at 235 (+19).
