In professional golf majors, the third round of a tournament is often known as Moving Day. That’s just how Arizona treated Sunday at the NCAA Women’s Golf Championships, particularly on the back nine.
The Wildcats fired a 1-over 289 at the par-72 Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, climbing to a tie for 7th place and making the cut for Monday’s final round of stroke play. Plus-1 was tied for the low round Sunday.
Arizona was in 13th after the second round, and at plus-6 on the front nine things were looking bleak. But the quartet of Nena Wongthanavimok, Carolina Melgrati, Julia Misemer and Gile Bite Starkute combined to shoot 5-under on the back nine.
