SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — Coach Garrett Runion said his LSU Tigers needed to play ultra confident in Monday's final round of medal play in the Division I NCAA Women's Golf Championship Monday at Grayhawk Golf Course's Raptor Course.
The Tigers posted their best round of the tournament and their second best 72 hole NCAA Tournament in program history, but after four rounds they finished just one shot out of the top eight that advanced to match play on Tuesday.
It was a gut-wrenching way for the Tigers' season to end after shooting a 2-over par round of 290 (tied for the second best single round in LSU NCAA play) and a 72 hole total of 1,174, just one shot off the best 72 hole school score of 1,173 in 2012.
