Badger Women Finish Fourth in Big Ten Championships

The Badger women's golf team finished fourth in the Big Ten Golf Championships on their home course.

University Ridge was the host of the tournament, and despite being Wisconsin's home course the Lady Badgers could only mount a fourth place finish. Oddly enough it was Wisconsin's number four golfer who scored the best in the four day tournament.

Carly Werwie scored a team low +8 in the tournament which was good enough for a tie for 7th overall. The next Badger in line was Wisconsin number one Molly Schemm who scored a +14. The Lady Badgers as a team scored +42 on the weekend, while the champion Purdue Boilermakers shot +6 for the weekend as a team.

The Boilermaker's top four players all finished in the top 10 for the tournament. Purdue also featured the number one individual player Laura Gonzalez who shot -8 for the weekend.

In between the Badgers and Boilermakers were Ohio State (#2) and Michigan State (#3). The Buckeyes as a team shot +33 and the Spartans shot +37 as a team. Putting a difference between first and second in the tournament as a team to an enormous 27 shots, and a difference individual score of only three shots.

Michigan's Ashley Bauer, who finished second individually, shot -5 for the weekend while the rest of the Wolverines managed +75 for the tournament.

So needless to say, despite Wisconsin being the host school, the Purdue Boilermakers took the make yourself at home offer way to seriously.
