WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University women's golf team finished 16th at the Therese Hession Regional Challenge, a three-round tournament held in Palos Verdes Estates, California. Ohio State University hosted the tournament that welcomed 16 teams, including 10 ranked among the top 25 in the nation, to the Palos Verdes Golf Club on a par-71, 6,017-yard course. Following three rounds of play, the Hoyas posted a score of 57-over par 909 (303-304-302).
ON THE RECORD
"We had a great experience playing in an elite level field at an LPGA tour venue. With the limited practice time we had going into the event, I am proud of how the team competed and bested our score from last year. THey were able to move on from mistakes quickly by shifting focus to the golf ahead. We are looking forward to taking what we learned here to Florida for the Atlantic Invite next week."
