Seidl posts a 218 to lead the Bobcats in Texas
THE WOODLANDS, Texas --- Norah Seidl capped off her impressive week at the Texas Golf Throwdown with a fourth-place finish on Tuesday, carding a 54-hole score of 218 to lead the Bobcats in The Woodlands, Texas.
After posting rounds of 71 and 74 on Monday, Seidl posted a 2-over 73 in the third and final round while competing individually on Tuesday to earn her share of fourth place, marking her second top-five placement of the season. As a team, the Bobcats carded rounds of 311, 332, and 326 for a 54-hole score of 969 to finish 15th.
Norah was awesome this week, and getting a hole-in-one just made it that much sweeter, Montana State head coach Brittany Basye said. This golf course was a challenge, and she handled it very well. Way to go, Norah. We have a lot of work to do the next couple weeks, mostly some mental work and talk about course management. Golf is hard, and it'll beat you down very quickly. The players will keep fighting and putting in the work. We will hold our heads high and get back to work! Norah's finish at fourth is awesome – proud of her.
Seidl opened her third round on Tuesday just like her first two on Monday by carding a birdie on No. 18 to start the day. She sunk pars on Nos. 1 and 2 along with four-straight on Nos. 5 through eight to make the turn at 2-over for the day. She then went bogey-free on her final eight holes, highlighted by a birdie on No. 10 to finish the day with a 1-over 73. She posted a 218 for the tournament in a strong showing in Texas.
The Bobcats opened their day as a team by finishing the final two holes of the second round, which was suspended on Monday due to darkness, before playing their third round. The Bobcats counted an 80 from Sailor Graham, an 81 by Ashleigh Wilson, an 84 by Eva Heinz, and Maddie Montoya's 87 in round two after Lauren Greeny withdrew from the tournament due to injury.
In round three, the Cats counted a 77 from Wilson, an 82 from Graham, an 83 by Heinz, and an 84 by Montoya. Wilson parred on seven of her first eight holes while posting birdies on the second and fifth holes to highlight her day. Graham strung together four pars on holes 9 through 12 and shot par or better on five of six holes starting on No. 16 and wrapping around to No. 3, sinking birdies on Nos. 16 and 18. Heinz and Montoya each sunk three-straight pars on the back-nine, with Heinz's coming on Nos. 11 through 13 and Montoya posting hers on Nos. 12 through 14. Heinz also birdied on No. 7 earlier in her round.
Iowa State earned the team victory with a 2-under 862 performance, defeating second-place Nebraska (37-over 901) by 39 strokes. Cincinnati (903), Texas State (910), and Middle Tennessee (913) rounded out the top five teams in The Woodlands.
Iowa State's Nichakorn Pinprayoon earned medalist honors at 6-under 210 while teammate Karisa Chul-Ak-Sorn finished 3-under 213. Oral Roberts' Avery Blake posted a 1-over 217, and Seidl, joined Iowa State's Pimkwan Chookaew and Middle Tennessee's Isabella Johnson at 2-over 218 in a tie for fourth place.
