WOMEN'S GOLF FINISHES SEVENTH AT BUBBA WATSON INVITE

        PACE, Florida Arkansas Tech Golden Suns Golf continued its fall season here by finishing seventh at West Florida’s Bubba Watson Invitational held at Stonebrook Golf Club.

Tech finished the two-day event by shooting a 674 to finish seven shots behind sixth-place Henderson State (667) and Seminole State Community College (667). Montevallo won the team title as they shot a 645 to finish two shots in front of West Florida (647) and four shots in front of Northeastern State (649).

 Leading the way for Tech was senior Danielle Lewis (Toronto, Ont.), who shot a 161 to finish tied for fifth place. Lewis, who shot an 82 in Monday’s first round, carded a season-low 79 in Tuesday’s final round. It was Lewis’ first Top 10 finish this season and seventh in the past three years.

St. Edwards’ Emily Kvinta took home individual medalist honors as she carded a two-day total of 150. Montevallo’s Britney Martin and Northeastern State’s Katie Miller each shot 158s to finish tied for second.

In addition to Lewis, sophomore Ana Morales (Bogata, Columbia) shot a 166 for 36 holes to finish tied for 18th place. Morales fired an 80 in the first round and then carded an 86 in the final round. Sophomore Kyla McIsaac (Kentville, Nova Scotia) shot a two-day total of 173 (85, 88) to finish in 30th place, while freshman Alyssia Duvall (Greenwood, Ark.) carded back-to-back 90s for a score of 180 for 36 holes to finish in 36th place and senior Casey Wheeler (Little Rock, Ark.) shot a 184 (84, 100) for the two-day event to finish in 38th place.

The Golden Suns will conclude its fall season on Oct. 6-7 when they travel to Edmond, Okla., to compete in the UCO Broncho Masters Invitational hosted by the University of Central Oklahoma.
