BROWN SUMMIT, N.C. - The Wake Forest women's golf team shot its lowest round of the season on Sunday, a 1-over 289, and finished in third place at the Bryan National Collegiate.
The Deacs came into the day in a tie for sixth place but steady play in wet conditions allowed the team to rise into a season-best finish. Wake was 21-over for the tournament which was also their best finish in relation to par this year.
Wake Forest got a number of good rounds on Sunday but none bigger than senior Greta Lange's 3-under 69. That was the lowest round of her Demon Deacon career by four shots. She bogeyed her third hole of the day but then made four birdies and no bogeys the rest of the way. Lange finished the tournament in a tie for 32nd at 8-over, which was also a career-best 54-hole score.
Sophomore Allison Emrey put together three solid rounds of 75-74-72 and finished in a tie for 17th at 5-over par. That was her second top-20 finish of the year. Junior Olafia Kristinsdottir finished a shot behind Emrey in a tie for 23rd after a final round 73. She has now finished tied for 23rd in back-to-back events.
Marissa Dodd and Mariana Sims rounded-out the Deacon scorers on Sunday with rounds of 75 and 77 respectively. Dodd opened with a 1-under 71 which allowed her to finish in a tie for 28th while Sims posted opening rounds of 76-74 and finished tie for 47th.
Sophomore Emily Wright also enjoyed a solid week playing as an individual. She carded rounds of 77-75-76 to finished tied for 50th at 12-over par. The 228 54-hole total is the lowest of Wright's career.
Virginia opened the tournament with a 7-under 281 and would hold on over the final two days for a four-shot victory at 5-over par. Arkansas finished second at 9-over.
Georgia's Emilie Burger played her final five holes on Sunday at 4-under par, including an eagle-2 at the par-4 17th, to claim individual honors at 5-under par. She was one shot better than Brittany Altomare of Virginia who finished at 4-under.
The Demon Deacons will now have three weeks to prepare for the ACC Women's Golf Championships. The tournament will again be played at the pristine Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., with the first round set for Friday, April 19.
