Oklahoma State’s Cowgirls Making Waves at Thunderbird Intercollegiate

The excitement is buzzing as Oklahoma State’s women’s golf team takes on the challenge at the Thunderbird Intercollegiate tournament, held at the lovely Tucson Country Club in Arizona. This annual event is a big deal in the collegiate golf scene, and our Cowgirls are giving it their all!

After Two Rounds, Cowgirls Sitting Tied for 10th

After two intense rounds of play, the Cowgirls find themselves tied for 10th place in a field packed with talented programs, including some that are nationally ranked. The first round saw them post a score of 297, which was promising, but the second round didn’t quite go as planned, resulting in a total of 312.

Feeling the Pressure Against Stanford

The team is currently trailing 36 strokes behind the first-place team, Stanford, who are showing off their golfing prowess with an impressive score of -5 (573). It’s no surprise that Stanford is known for its golf program, and they are setting a high standard for the rest of the teams out there.

Summer Lee Shining Bright

One of the Cowgirls putting on quite a show is Summer Lee, who delivered the best overall score for Oklahoma State with a focused 73-77, wrapping up her rounds with a total of 150. This performance puts her in a tie for 27th place overall.

Summer didn’t just play consistently; she also racked up a team-high of 6 birdies, which means she made some spectacular shots that wowed both her teammates and the crowd. Birdies are the golf equivalent of landing a slam dunk in basketball—something to cheer about!

Lucy Darr Finding Her Groove

Not far behind is teammate Lucy Darr, who contributed with scores of 73 in the first round and then 79 in the second, bringing her total to 152 which has earned her a tie for 36th place. Darr had her moments in the spotlight too, with a fantastic 26 pars, placing her among the best performances in the tournament—fourth-best out of a total of 80 players.

Others Joining the Effort

The team isn’t just about the top players, though. Every contribution counts! Tarapath Panya tallied a score of 76-81 for a total of 157, securing her a tie for 56th place. Meanwhile, Grace Kilcrease wrapped up her rounds with a score of 75-84, finishing in 61st place overall. These scores may not be top of the leaderboard, but they’re all part of the team effort.

What’s Next for the Cowgirls?

The final round is set to kick off at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday. For those who need to finish up their holes from the previous round, they’ll head out early at 9:15 a.m. to try and improve their standings. As for the weather, Monday was a scorcher with highs in the mid-80s and beautiful sunny skies, which can be both a blessing and a challenge on the course. Tuesday looks a little cooler, with a pleasant high of 79 degrees expected.

A Bright Future Ahead!

The tournament is only halfway done, and there’s still plenty of time for the Cowgirls to climb up the leaderboard. With a little bit of teamwork, strategy, and a sprinkle of that competitive spirit, anything is possible. So, here’s to our Oklahoma State Cowgirls! Let’s see what they can accomplish in the final round!
