Women’s golf placed third at the 38th Annual Pat Bradley Tournament with a final score of 891 (+27) in Sarasota, Fla. on Tuesday, Oct. 27. The tournament was the final event in the fall season for FIU golf.
tied for 11th place after posting a combined score of 7-over par over three days of competition. The senior posted a 1-under par first round and struggled in her final round, shooting a 6-over par 78.
Coralia Arias made her first start of the season for the Panthers. Arias’ tournament highlight was in the second round, where she carded an even-par 72. In the round, Arias birdied five holes and limited her mistakes to finish in 22nd place on the individual scoreboard.
Camila Serrano’s first two rounds of the tournament were plagued by bogies. In her second round, for example, Serrano made one birdie versus four bogies and one double bogey. However, the junior rebounded in her final round.
Unlike her first two rounds, Serrano carded three birdies versus one bogey. Thus, Serrano finished the final round with a 2-under par 70. This was the lowest round of the tournament for the Panthers.
Senior Carla Jane remained consistent throughout the tournament, as she had since the season began.
Jane shot a combined score of 8-over par in Sarasota, Fla. Her performance netted her a tie for 13th place with Serrano. Jane’s best round of the tournament came in day one, when she shot a 2-over par 74.
Other golfers involved in the tournament were Sophie Godley and Katerina Krasova. Krasova played as an individual in the tournament and finished with a total score of 238 (+22). Last year’s breakout golfer has not played well throughout the fall season.
Godley, meanwhile, came in 35th place in the tournament. Godley has shown that she can remain consistent throughout the fall season.
Godley, who was limited to nine rounds last year, has had a nice bounce-back season. Expect Godley to remain in the starting five for the remainder of the season if her consistent play continues into the spring season.
The Pat Bradley was the last tournament of the fall season for the Panthers. Now, the Panthers will have a four-month break before their next tournament, which is the Florida Challenge.
In the spring season, FIU will take on the University of Miami in a head-to-head matchup. The match against UM will be from Feb. 29 to March 2. The final tournament of the year for the Panthers will be the SMU Invite in Dallas.
