ORLANDO, Fla. – The Wake Forest women's golf team finished the UCF Challenge in dominant fashion, recording the second-lowest 54-hole team score in relation to par in NCAA history. Freshman Carolina Chacarra finished with the lowest 54-hole score in relation to par in Wake Forest program history and tied for the second-lowest in NCAA history.
The Demon Deacons finished 45 strokes under par and won the event by 14 strokes, with Chacarra at 19 under and junior Rachel Kuehn at 12 under. Chacarra claimed the individual title by four strokes and Kuehn came in third seven strokes behind her.
Chacarra recorded 18 birdies over 54 holes, the second-most in the field. Kuehn tallied 13 over her three rounds, the fifth-most in the field. Wake Forest continued to lead the way on par-four scoring, shooting 24 under on par-four holes for the event.
The third round of play was split between Monday and Tuesday with inclement weather anticipated for Tuesday. Chacarra recorded four consecutive birdies followed by an eagle and another birdie on her first nine holes of the final round on Monday. She started Tuesday with six holes left and birdied three of the six on her way to the title. Her final round score of 62 is the lowest 18-hole score in Wake Forest history and the second lowest in NCAA history.
Kuehn started the third round on Monday already 10 under par and had a perfect scorecard on her first 12 holes on Monday. When play resumed Tuesday she birdied two of her remaining six holes to finish 12 under par in third place. Kuehn has now finished inside the top 25 in all five events for the 2021-22 year, with three of them being top five finishes.
Graduate Virunpat Olankitkunchai finished six under par for the event and inside the top 15 at T13. After a perfect scorecard in round one to finish even par, she recorded 8 birdies and two bogeys over her final 36 holes. She had the second-most pars in the field with 44 over 54 holes.
Junior Lauren Walsh rounded out the Deacs inside the top 20, coming in at T19 and four under par. She recorded six birdies over seven holes, five of them in a row, in her second round on Monday morning to sit T15 at four under. Three birdies and two bogeys in her final 18 brought her to five under and kept her inside the top 20. This is her third top 20 finish of the year. Sophomore Mimi Rhodes finished one under par and T37.
Coach's Comments
"What an incredible tournament. To have Carolina finish with two school records as a freshman and the team to come within one stroke of the NCAA record is amazing. This team works so hard and always comes together as a unit to support and encourage one another. They are just a phenomenal example of extraordinary student-athletes!" – head coach Kim Lewellen
Up Next
With the Deacs third win of the 2021-22 season, they will have two weeks off before heading to the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate Feb. 28-March 2 at Long Cove Country Club in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
