Chacarra, Wake Forest Win Second Straight Title
3/2/2022 7:21:00 PM | Women's Golf
HILTON-HEAD, N.C. – The Wake Forest women's golf team defended their title and won the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate for the second time for their second win of the spring season. Freshman Carolina Chacarra also won her second individual title.
Chacarra is the first Wake Forest women's golfer since Stephanie Neill in 1991-92 to win multiple events as a freshman. She previously won the UCF Challenge at the beginning of February with a record-breaking performance on the final day.
The Deacs started the second round on Tuesday in a tie for fourth place and proceeded to have the lowest, and only under par, round of the day to surge to the top of the leaderboard entering Wednesday's final 18 holes. With a steady round, Wake Forest maintained their top spot with the third-lowest round in the field on the final day.
Chacarra started her final round with four consecutive birdies over her second through fifth holes and recorded another on the par-four seventh before making the turn. She finished the day two under for a three-day score of four under at 209. She won the individual title by two strokes.
Rachel Kuehn finished T13 for her sixth top 25 finish in six events this year. A birdie on the par-five 15th helped her finish the day at two over for a three-day score of four over at 217. Lauren Walsh and Mimi Rhodes rounded out the Deacs in the top 20, coming in at T20 and six over at 219. This was the fourth top 20 finish in six events this year for both Walsh and Rhodes.
For the second event in a row, Wake Forest led the field in scoring on par four holes. They also recorded the most birdies in the field, with 43 over three rounds. Chacarra continued to lead the field with 15 birdies over her three rounds.
