Five Texans post season bests as Tarleton State Women’s Golf end fall slate at The Clash at Boulder Creek

STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Five Texans posted a season best to lead Tarleton State Women's Golf to its fifth top-10 performance of the season in their fall finale at The Clash at Boulder Creek hosted by Northern Arizona at the Boulder Creek Golf Course that wrapped up on Tuesday afternoon.

Gina Chen led the way for the Texans in the second consecutive event to wrap up the fall. In a loaded field featuring a top 25 nationally ranked program in Kansas, the Texans placed in the top 10 finishing in tenth overall shooting seven-over par as a team. Tarleton State shot their lowest as a team this fall carding an 871, surpassing their previous low of 885 last time out at the Golf Iconic Classic. The Texans opened the tournament shooting under par as a team for the second round this fall shooting three-under par. 

Four Texans posted at least one round of even or under par, the most this season. A pair notched two rounds of even or under par as well. Chen's opening round of 68 was the lowest this season by a Texan. Five Texans set their new season-low across 54 holes.

Chen notched her lowest round of the fall and of her collegiate career, opening the event with a four-under, 68. She then carded a 76 followed by an even par, 72 on her final round to end the three days at an even par, 216. She tallied 11 birdies, with six coming on her first round. The sophomore strung together three birdies in a row on her first round and recorded three birdies across four consecutive holes in her final round.

Magda Domine was the second-highest finishing Texan ending the fall with her best 54 holes as a Texan. Domine posted a pair of even or under par rounds opening with a 71 and closing with a 72. She carded a 74 on her second round to end the fall with a two-over, 218 to place 38th overall.

Filippa Mortensen notched her third eagle of the season, only needing three strokes on the par-five, ninth hole. Mortensen is the only Texan to record an eagle this season and was one of 14 to record an eagle in the field. Mortensen opened her fall finale with an even par 72, followed by a 74 and 73 on her final two rounds. Mortensen shot a season-best three-under, 219, to tie for 41st place overall.

Natalia Fiel Ros also broke her season best shooting a five-over, 221, to beat her previous beat by two strokes. Fiel Ros carded an even par round on her second round of the event to go along with a 75 in her opening round and a 74 on her final round. Fiel Ros tied for 51st. Luchi Quiroga was very consistent shooting a two-over, 74, on each round to post a six-over, 222. Quiroga recorded 42 pars, tying for the most in the entire field. The freshman posted her lowest total of the season by five strokes and tied for 62nd.  Yanin Kongthawornwong competed as an individual and opened with a 76 on her first round. She ended the event in 107th place shooting 247.
