MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — The Carleton women's golf team wrapped up play at the 2026 Golfweek Fall Invitational on Tuesday, firing a final-round 332 (+44) to place 18th in a competitive 24-team national field at Sandestin Resort and Club. The Knights compiled a 54-hole score of 987 (334-321-332).

The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor captured the team title with a dominant performance, finishing at 25-over-par 889 (301-298-290) to secure a 30-stroke victory over runner-up Macalester College (+55, 919).

First-year Angela Yu followed up her collegiate career-best round (76) on Monday with a 77 (+5) on Tuesday, highlighted by a pair of birdies. The steady round placed her in a tie for 42nd at 23-over-par 239 (86-76-77). Senior Charlotte Darras rounded out the team scoring with a round of 106 to finish 119th at 324 (106-112-106), while first-year Sarah Han did not compete on Tuesday, but finished 120th overall.
