BADIN, N.C. - After reviewing United States Golf Association
rule 33-2B/1, officials determined on Wednesday that the final
round of the Lady Falcon/McNairy Invitational will be counted.
Three sets of tees on holes 5, 8 and 11 were moved after the final
round had begun on Tuesday, and since the final round scores did
not provide a distinct and significant advantage or disadvantage,
the round can be counted.
With the final ruling, the Carson-Newman women's golf team took
first place in the event after shooting a second-day score of 307
on Tuesday at the Old North State Club at Uwharrie Point. The
victory was C-N's second in a week after it won the Maryville
College Invitational last Saturday.
Lady Eagle senior Sarah Jane Sinard (Jefferson City, Tenn.)
captured medalist honors for a second-straight tournament after
shooting a two-over 74 in the final round for a two-day total of
145.
The Lady Eagles finished the tournament with a score of 622, which
was three strokes ahead of Catawba (625) and seven strokes ahead of
California University (Pa.) (629).
C-N freshman Melanie Manis (Louisville, Tenn.) tied for 10th place
as she carded a 76 on Tuesday for a two-round total of 155. Junior
Jessica Tarbet (Corryton, Tenn.) also placed in the top 20 with a
two-day total of 160.
C-N returns to action on Sept. 20-22 in the Queens University
Invitational at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. The Lady
Eagles will go through a practice round on Sept. 20 before playing
the first round on Sept. 21.
