Junior Sophie Hausmann, the Big Sky’s top-ranked women’s golfer, carded an overall 4-under par 212 to place first overall and led the Vandals to a fifth place tie to open spring season at The Gold Rush tournament in Long Beach, Calif.
It was Hausmann’s second-straight Gold Rush title and third first-place career finish — she carded 12-under overall last season, including a 7-under par 65 in the final round to set a personal and course single-round record. The Big Sky Conference also named her its women’s golfer of the week following the tournament, her second such award of the year and fifth of her career.
