Lady Toppers place second in Hoover Invitational

With a five stroke lead and 18 holes left to play, the WKU Women’s Golf team fell apart Tuesday afternoon finishing in second place at the Hoover Invitational in Birmingham, Alabama.

The club shot an 8-over 296, which ruined their chances to get back-to-back tournament wins to begin the season.

After not qualifying to compete with her teammates in match one, sophomore Sarah Arnold put up the best scores for the Lady Toppers shooting a 219 (3-over par). This result gave her a No. 8 individual finish.

Fresh off of her Conference USA Player of the Week award, freshman Rylea Marcum put up an uncharacteristic 9-over (81) for the first round before shooting even in the final 36 holes.
