No. 6 Women's Golf Wins Team Title in Las Vegas
The Golf Dawgs have won yet again, capturing their third team title of the season at The Show in Las Vegas. The two-day event featured stellar performances and was a complete team effort. Led by the outstanding play of the senior/freshman duo Hannah Levi and Izzy Pellot, State was able to claim their first title of the spring, shooting 9-under (855) over 54-holes.
The Bulldogs were locked in a fierce battle down the stretch as the Spanish Trail Country Club set the stage for The Show. Heading into the final three holes, State held a one-stroke advantage over No. 30 Pepperdine before pulling through behind some stellar performances up and down the scorecard to capture the victory. The Bulldog's two top-10 finishes from the senior/freshman duo of Hannah Levi and Izzy Pellot led the way through the event.
Levi used a stellar third round to help State mount a valiant effort late in the evening. Levi birdied five throughout the day to secure her eighth round in the 60s as a Bulldog carding 69 (3-Under Par). Levi finished third shooting 6-under par (210) to earn her seventh top-five finish.
Reigning SEC Freshman of the Week Izzy Pellot picked up where she left off in the UCF Challenge, picking up back-to-back top-10 finishes. Pellot finished ninth (2-under par) and now has five top-20 finishes in seven events played in the Maroon and White.
Reigning SEC Golfer of the Week Julia Lopez Ramirez carded her 32nd round of par or better golf (70, 2-under) in the final round to climb up the leaderboard to finish tied for 12th. Lopez Ramirez now has 16 top-20 finishes in 19 career events.
Surapa Janthamunee and Abbey Daniel round out the scoring for the Bulldogs carding 77 (5-over) and 74 (2-over) in the final round to finish tied for 27th and tied for 31st respectfully.
Competing individually, Jarutrawee Khotchagrai tied for 60th shooting 13-over par.
The Bulldogs will return to the course on March 4th and 5th for the 51st Annual Vystar Credit Union Gators Invitational from Gainesville, Fla.
