The women's golf team has been
blaming their poor play on the
weather the last few tournaments.
And last weekend they proved their
point.
The conditions at the Ohio State
Invitational were superb as Michigan
finished in fourth place out of a field
of nine schools in Columbus. Coach
Sue LeClair couldn't contain her
excitement over the squad's play.
"We had a great tournament," said
LeClair. "This is the best we've ever
done."
The host, Ohio State, won the
tournament with an overall score of
F91. Michigan ended up with a total
of 949, just behind Big Ten rival
Wisconsin, 934. The Wolverines
squeaked by Purdue, 952, after
trailing them by eight strokes before
Sunday's final round of play.
The most impressive result for
the Wolverines was their low
average of 79 strokes per round. "I
just like all these nice scores under
80, that's what I like," said LeClair.
Erica Zonder led the team with
scores of 81, 72 and 79. Those
rounds placed her, unofficially,
eighth overall in individual play.
The remaining members Becky
Hayes (78-78-79), Darcy Chandler
(79-83-79) and Jenny Boring (82-79-
81) rounded out the Wolverine
scoring over the three rounds.
What was the key to Michigan's
sudden turn around? According to
LeClair it was "sunshine, warm
weather, and determination."
Although the team has improved,
a lot of work lies ahead for the
Wolverines to finish respectably in
the Big Ten.
The weakness in their play at
Ohio State was chipping and put-
ting. LeClair felt that too many
shots were wasted around the green.
But the problem is that the squad
hasn't had the time to practice that
aspect of their game lately. "As soon
as we get through exams, we'll be
back working on it," said LeClair.
