Women's Golf Finishes 7th in Lexington
Louisville women's golf gained ground in the third and final day of the NCAA Regional held at Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, but they were only able to move up from ninth to seventh in the event. The top six teams qualified to advance in the tournament. Louisville shot a team best round with an 8-under on Wednesday, led by Bailey Burkett's career best round of 4-under. The Cards finished 8-over par on the tournament, just four strokes back of sixth-place TCU.
Louisville managed to be the highest finishing team without a player shooting under par over the 54-hole tournament, with Carmen Griffiths and Thienna Huynh tying for the team lead with a T21 finish at 1-over. Bailey Burkett was close behind at +2, a T25 finish. Unfortunately for the Cards, they not only miss out on advancing as a team, but Miami's Olivia Grenborg will be the individual advancing from the Lexington Regional. Grenborg carded a 4-under score for the tournament, finishing tied for fifth. Kansas State's Carla Bernat paced the field with a final score of -12. FSU had the two players who tied for second, with Mirabel Ting and Lottie Woad shooting 10-under. Georgia Southern tied KSU for second in the tournament and finished with the most players under par (three). Also advancing were Southern California and Vanderbilt.
Overall, Louisville had a decent season, but they'll surely be disappointed to miss out on advancing. It was a tough task, but golf's a tough game. We'll look ahead to the squad getting back out on the course in the fall as they turn their sights to the 2025-26 season.
Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast
We've reached the point in the season where it's hard to have wins to talk about. At this stage of tournament time, only so many teams can keep winning. But Paulie, Jared, and Daryl will still work to bring you the joy and excitement of Louisville women's athletics this week. I'm out for other obligations, but we're getting creative to make sure we get the show back on track after last week's Derby absence. No promises on exactly when this week's episode will be posted, but be sure to subscribe so that it comes to your feed automatically.
Until next time, Go Cards!
