The Wingate University Women’s Golf team has been the model of consistency this season, earning their way to No. 11 in the Golf Stat NCAA Division II rankings. The team came in fourth in the Battle at Old South at UNC-Pembroke, their first tournament of the season; they finished with a score of 598.
The second tournament for the Bulldogs resulted in their best finish of the season when the team took first place in the Myrtle Beach Intercollegiate. The Bulldogs were able to win with 611 points, managing to fight off conference rivals Tusculum and Lenoir-Rhyne. Both of them were one stroke behind.
In the Flagler Fall Slam at Flagler University, the third tournament of the season, the Lady Bulldogs finished third with a score of 592. The team finished second in both the Newberry Invitational and the Barton Invitational; posting scores of 617 and 622, respectively. The Bulldogs finished in third in both the LMU Spring Invitational and the Low Country Invitational; putting up scores of 608 and 624 for both events.
Wingate has gotten solid contributions from sophomore Diana McDonald, who set a program record shooting four-under-par on the second day of the Battle at Old South Tournament. McDonald also earned medals and all-tournament honors in four of the teams tournaments.
The Bulldogs look to continue their consistent season when they compete in the Wingate Challenge at the Rolling Hills Country Club in Monroe, N.C. on March 19.
