Stockett carded the third-most birdies throughout her three rounds of play, sinking 11.  

 

“I cannot say enough about the impact Blair Stockett has had on our program, head coach Charlie Ewing said. “We are so proud of her, and she will have a huge Hail State family following her wherever she goes in her future. Everybody involved with our program is so grateful for her.” 

 

Hannah Levi concluded her final round on Sunday with a score of 6-over par (78) to finish tied for 81^st with 13-over par. Levi sunk two birdies on the front nine and parred eight holes throughout the third round.

Daniel began the day tied for 101^stbefore finding her groove on the back nine to climb up the leaderboard twenty spots. Daniel rolled in seven straight pars on Holes 1 thru 7 to secure a third-round score of 2-over par (74). Daniel finished tied for 81^st with a final score of 14-over par.  

SEC Freshman of the Year, Julia Lopez Ramirez, closed out the third round by sinking pars on 8 of her final nine holes. Lopez Ramirez shot an 8-over par 80 in the third round and finished tied for 100^th with a 16-over par.

“I am so proud of this team and the growth that we experienced throughout the year,” Ewing said. “We’ll be back at this tournament, and we believe we will be back as a better team. I am so fortunate to coach such an incredible group of young ladies that represent themselves and this program so well. We didn’t accomplish our main goal for the year, but we accomplished a lot. It is so easy to be proud of each and every one of our golfers.”
