Recording her second consecutive top-10 finishes, junior Macy Pate carded her lone under par round of the competition with three birdies. The two-time All-ACC selection was second individually on par-3s, averaging a score at two-under. Freshman Cartoon Rujiranan matched Pate's round and jumped 13 spots from the previous day.
Graduate student Morgan Ketchum went under par after the turn, recording three birdies to finish the day at three over in T41. The Winston-Salem-native tied Rujiranan on par-5s, averaging a score at two-under for sixth best in the field.
Sophomore Chloe Kovelesky completed the day at five over and T68, while senior Anne-Sterre den Dunnen wrapped in T43 and nine over through three days of play.
Coaches Comments
"We always enjoy coming to Hilton Head for the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate. I was very happy to see our freshman do so well in her first competitive tournament for the team, and do well under tough conditions the first few days, then finish with an under par round the last day. We look forward to spring break coming up and using it to train and continue to improve and get ready for the championship season." - Tony and Vi Golding Head Coach Kim Lewellen
Up Next
The Deacs will return to defend their title at the Old Barnwell Derby on Mar. 16-17, in Aiken, S.C.
