Knights finish sixth of 18 teams at D3 Classic

HASTINGS, Minn. — The Carleton College women's golf team wrapped up play at the D3 Classic on Sunday at Emerald Greens Golf Course, posting a final-round 310 (+22) to finish in sixth place in the 18-team field. The Knights completed the two-day tournament a 46-over-par total of 622 (312-310).

Saint Benedict claimed the team title at 35-over par (611), followed closely by Macalester (+38, 614) and host Gustavus Adolphus (+42, 618) to round out the top three team finishers.

Junior Anna Lee posted the standout performance of the weekend for the Knights, delivering a brilliant even-par round of 72 on Sunday. Lee started strong, going out with a one-under-par 35 including a pair of birdies on the front nine. The Vernon Hills, Ill., native then finished strong, coming home in a one-over 37 on the back half of the course for the even-par 72. Paired with her opening 75 (+3), Lee climbed three spots into a tie for 2nd place individually at 3-over par (147) for the weekend, finishing five strokes behind tournament medalist Zoe Keene of Concordia-Moorhead (-2).

First-year Cindy Yuan continued her strong play, shooting a 2-over-par 74 in her final round. Yuan racked up three birdies on her way to a two-under 34 on the opening nine before the highlight of her round came with an eagle on the par-five 11th. Combined with her first-round 76 (+4), Yuan finished in a tie for fifth overall at 6-over par (150) to give Carleton two golfers in the top five.

First-years Angela Yu and Sarah Han rounded out the Knights' score. Yu carded a 12-over-par 84 on Sunday to complete the tournament at +18 (162), landing in a tie for 39th place. Han bounced back nicely with an 8-over-par 80, improving by three strokes from her opening round to tie for 44th place at +19 (163).
