Bacic's All-Tournament Performance Leads Golf to a Fourth-Place Finish
Henderson, TN- The Golden Tigers turned in their best result of the season finishing fourth at the Freed-Hardeman Fall Invite.
Host Freed-Hardeman University brought teams from seven NAIA schools and one NCAA D2 school to compete in this year's tournament. The squad competed against a field of 42 players, who faced the very challenging layout of Chickasaw Golf Club.
Freshmen Audrey Bacic and Senior Morela Boyd led Brenau with a fourth and ninth place finish, respectively. Bacic shot her collegiate low with a 77 in round one that included a final nine of even par. With this finish, Bacic has three top-ten finishes in four starts at Brenau. Emily Minish, Harper Davis and Lainey Addison all posted their career low for the Golden Tigers with an 81, 88, and 87, respectively. Minish and Addison improved their score from day one by around ten shots.
Quinn Hawk participated in her first career multiday tournament with a 35th place finish. The squad continues to improve and set another season low with a team score of 331 on the final day.
When asked about his players' performance after the tournament, head coach Mark Elam said, "Chickasaw Golf Club is a really challenging course and our ladies were up to the challenge this week. I cannot express how happy I am with the improvement from the beginning of the season up until this point. I think we are setting ourselves up for a really solid few days in Acworth in a couple of weeks."
The Golden Tigers will have a few weeks off and will next compete at the AAC Fall Conference Preview hosted by Reinhardt University in Acworth, GA., on October 20th-21st.
