ORANGE PARK, Fla. --- Freshman Mette Kryger (Nivaa, Denmark) shot one-under par 71 to lead the Chattanooga Mocs in the final round of the JMU Eagle Landing Invitational. UTC shot 302 Sunday to finish with a 54-hole total of 909 tying for seventh with UNCG and Stetson.
Kryger not only had the best score but also the shot of the day. Standing in a fairway bunker on the ninth hole, wind in her face, she holed out with a five iron from 145 yards out. Kryger was two over through eight holes, but played the final 10 at minus three to end up at one under.
Jordan Britt (Chattanooga, Tenn.) shot 76 (+4) in the final round to shoot 220 (+4) tying for 10th for her second career top 10 finish. Maria Juliana Loza (Bucaramanga, Colombia) was second for the event on the Mocs squad at 226, tied for 26th.
Kryger's 71 moved her into a tie for 34th at 228. Marion Duvernay (Publier, France) was next for UTC at 239. Sophie Weilguni (Langenlois, Austria) rounded out the team at 245.
USF claimed a wire-to-wire win shooting 883. The Bulls topped Maryland by three and East Carolina in third by seven. Campbell's Kaylin Yost was also a wire-to-wire winner as medalist at one-under par 215. A trio of golfers finished as runner-up at level par 216.
The Mocs stay in Florida this week for the SunTrust Gator Women's Golf Invitational. The three-day, 54-hole event starts Friday, March 16 and ends Sunday, March 18. Live scoring can be found on the GoMocs.com women's golf schedule page.
