AUGUSTA, Ga. - The No. 2 Wake Forest women's golf team has won its fifth regular-season team title of the 2022-23 year at the Valspar Augusta Invitational. Due to weather conditions, the tournament was called at the beginning of the third round. Final scores are reflected through the first two rounds only.
During the 2021-22 season, Wake Forest won four regular-season titles, which tied the program record from 2019-20. Prior to that, the last time the Deacs won three regular season titles was in 1994-95 and 1995-96.
2022-23 Titles:
Senior Rachel Kuehn took home the individual title by three strokes for her sixth career victory. She is one of just four players in program history to win six or more individual titles:
Carolina Chacarra recorded her third top-10 finish, finishing in a tie for sixth. Emilia Migliaccio and Lauren Walsh finished in a tie for 14th. It was Migliaccio's fifth top-15 finish of the season and Walsh's sixth. Mimi Rhodes recorded her fifth top-25 finish of the season, ending in a tie for 22nd.
Coach's Comments
"We had a wonderful spring break in Florida working on our game while having plenty of time for fun team activities. We topped it off with a team win in Augusta and an individual win for Rachel. What a spring break! We're excited to get home and have a few weeks to prepare for ACCs and the rest of the postseason. Go Deacs!" - head coach Kim Lewellen
Next Up
The 2023 Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Golf Championships will be held April 13-16 at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. The four-day event is free for spectators and Deacon Nation is encouraged to attend and cheer on the reigning ACC Champs!
