CARLSBAD, Calif. – LSU barely missed a morning tee time on Sunday at the NCAA Women’s Championship, finishing 36 holes one shot behind Florida and UCLA, which were tied for 15th, though the Gators won the tiebreaker (more on those two squads later).
For the Tigers, it was nothing new. Last week they were a shot out of the top five at NCAA regionals before rallying on the final day.
“We’ve done hard things like that before,” said LSU head coach Garrett Runion, whose team also won arguably the toughest event of the spring, the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate, back in late February.
