ATHENS, Ga. -
Jordan Allyne and Courtney Gunter led the North Carolina women's golf effort in the final round of the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic on Sunday where the team finished with a total 928 for a tie at seventh. Allyne and Gunter both went five-over par 77 for the day.
"We didn¹t have a great day today, but overall we had a good tournament," says Tar Heel head Coach Jan Mann. "We beat a lot of team that were ranked ahead of us and we did some good things over the three days of play. I think this has been good preparation for the ACC Championships."
Gunter, a freshman from Matthews, N.C., tied for 17th with a cumulative score of 12-over par 151 for the tournament. Gunter had been the leader for the team through all rounds. Allyne fought back in the final day to finish in a tie for 96th place at 245.
Catherine O'Donnell and Kate Thomas each carded 18-over 234 for the classic and tied for 37th. Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., sophomore O'Donnell shot eight over for the day and Murwillumbah, Australia senior Thomas shot nine over.
Junior Sarah Thead also fired eight over for the day, finishing with 239 at a 69th-place tie in the tournament. As an individual, Margaret Pentrack, a junior from Pittsburgh, Penn., placed 110th with a total score of 251.
Duke took home first place followed by Alabama in second and Arkansas in third. Duke ended the three-day event just one-over. Duke's Lindy Duncan continued her stronghold at the top of the leader board finishing three-under par for the classic. In a tie for second were Duke's Stacy Kim and Alabama's Jennifer Kirby.
The 54-hole event was played at University of Georgia Golf Course which features a par 72, 6,335-yard layout. The Tar Heels' next outing is the Bryan National Collegiate in Browns Summit, N.C. this coming weekend, April 2-4.
