Fletcher adds ninth career top 20 finish.
MEMPHIS – The Memphis women's golf team fired a third round 300 and finished ninth at the Johnie Imes Invitational in Columbia, Missouri, Tuesday afternoon.
Sophomore Michaela Fletcher matched her second round 72 to lead Memphis with a 54-hole score of 218 (+2) to finish in a tie for 15th overall. The top 20 finish is the ninth of her 13-tournament-long NCAA career and her first since finishing tied for fifth at the NCAA Regional in South Bend back in May of 2015.
Senior Andrea Cropper posted back-to-back career low rounds on Monday and followed it with a third round 78 to finish with a 222 (+6) and tied for 30th overall. The 30th place finish is a career-best for the Nashville native and her 222 is 10 strokes better than her previous career 54-hole mark.
Emily Goldenstein finished with a Tuesday 78, finishing tied for 49th overall at 227 (+11). Teammates Leighann Cabush and Abby Herrmann tied for 54th overall one stroke behind Goldenstein (228). Herrmann, who competed as an individual at the event, was competing in her first collegiate tournament and closed with a third round 79 on Tuesday.
Madison Thomas rounded out the Memphis scorers. She fired a third round 79 to finish 62nd overall at 230.
Memphis now begins preparations for its lone home event of the season, the Memphis Intercollegiate, Oct. 17-18 at Ridgeway Country Club. Memphis is the defending team champ in the event and Thomas is the defending individual medalist, having beaten former teammate Ashleigh Whisenant in a one-hole playoff for medalist honors last year in her first-ever college event.
