DAHLONEGA, Ga. - The Columbus State University women's golf team quickly rose two spots in the final round to snatch a tournament win at the LeeAnn Noble Memorial. The two-day tournament was played at the Achasta Golf Club in Dahlonega, Ga.
The Lady Cougars improved their round two score by 20 strokes on Tuesday firing a 281, their best team round so far this season. For the tournament, CSU shot a 582.
Tournament hosts, North Georgia (583), was one shot behind CSU. Lee (596) dropped two spots from the opening day. Montevallo (600) and Catawba College (604) rounded out the top five.
"It was a good day for Cougar Golf," said CSU Director of Golf Mark Immelman. "I am so proud of both teams. The final round the Ladies put together is a record one-round team score, and in my opinion indicative of their potential."
