Troy’s women’s golf team ascended the leaderboard during Saturday’s final two rounds of the 3M Augusta Invitational, earning them ninth out of 16 teams at the event.
The strong finish was also enough to earn the Trojans ninth place among 11 teams ranked in the top 100 in the nation. Sunday’s threat of rain forced 36 holes to be played on Saturday.
Junior Fatima Fernandez Cano of Santiago de Compostela, Spain, tied for 15th place overall with a 4-over 220 finish for the tournament. The Spaniard shot 2-under 70 in Sunday’s opener, but shot a 3-over 75 in the subsequent round.
