The William and Mary women's golf team wrapped up play at the W&M Fall Invitationalon Tuesday, carding a 313 in the final round at Kingsmill to finished third overall in the nine-team tournament. Morehead State (881, +29) won by 17 strokes over runner-up Elon (898, +46), while the Tribe finished the three-day event at 903 (+51). Elon's Sunna Vidisdottir slid by Morehead's Anna Appert Lund with a 70 on Tuesday to win the individual medal by a single stroke, 215 (+2) to 216.
The Tribe's 54-hole team score is tied for the fourth-best in school history and didn't even include junior
Kelly Okun (Palm Beach, Fla.), who matched the day's best round with a 70 (-1) to leap up six spots to finish third overall at 218 (+5) while playing as an individual. Sophomore
Tina Chang (Mineola, N.Y.) did count towards the team total, finishing with a 74 and tied for fourth overall at 219 (+6). Freshman
Kelly McGovern (The Woodlands, Texas) had a 77 in the final round of just her second collegiate tournament, and tied for sixth with a three-day score of 220 (+7). Okun's total of 5-over is a school-record for a par-71 tournament, and the third-best 54-hole score in program history. Chang is now tied for fourth all-time at W&M with her 6-over effort, and McGovern enters the record book in a tie for the sixth-best score in school history.
