CHAPEL HILL, N.C. --- Jordan Britt (Chattanooga, Tenn.) and Marion Duvernay (Publier, France) paced the Chattanooga Mocs to a season-best 293 (+5) in the final round of the Tar Heel Invitational on UNC Finley Golf Course. Britt and Duvernay each shot season-best two-under par 70s.
UTC shot 897 for the event finishing ahead of Coastal Carolina and Notre Dame and seven strokes behind Arkansas. The Mocs' 293 bettered yesterday's 297 as the squad's low round thus far.
"It was an OK performance over the last two days," said head coach Colette Murray. "We still have to get off to a better start. They're young and they're trying...we just have some things we need to figure out."
Britt shot one-under par over her last 36 holes to finish at five over, 221, tied for 34th. Duvernay was right behind her at one over for the past two rounds, ending up tied for 55th at 225 (+9).
Mette Kryger (Nivaa, Denmark) wound up tied for 37th with a 54-hole total of 222 (+6). Michaela Gasplmayr (Ebernfurth, Austria) and Yushira Budhram (Johannesburg, South Africa) rounded out the scoring at 230 and 236, respectively.
LSU won the team title at eight-under par 859 by four strokes over Alabama at 861 (-4). Auburn was third at three under (861), while host North Carolina was fourth at minus two (862).
Auburn's Marta Sanz won medalist honors at nine-under par 207. Chattanooga-native Brooke Pancake (Alabama), Augusta James (N.C. State) and Caroline Powers (Michigan State) tied for second at eight under (208).
UTC closes out the fall portion of the schedule in a few weeks at The Landfall Tradition, Oct. 28-30, at the Country Club of Landfall. Live scoring can be accessed on the women's golf schedule page on GoMocs.com.
