7th ranked Barton women’s golf sweeps conference meets to claim championship, Inmee wins third straight.
The 7th ranked Barton Community College women's golf team completed its sweep of the conference meet season Saturday with a big margin victory, winning the KJCCC No. 3 tournament held at Fort Scott's Woodland Hills Golf Course.
Barton opened up a 25-stroke margin after Friday's 324 round to win by 51 strokes after Saturday's final round with six players in the top nine by carding a 339 for an 87-over 663. Dodge City finished in second at 714 with host Fort Scott carding an 851 and Coffeyville accumulating a 953.
"Pin placements were really, really tough today, perhaps too tough for the tournament," said Head Coach Doug Kaiser in reference to the field's final round scores. "There were a lot of three putts and balls rolling off the greens. However I was really proud of our girls and how everyone handled things."
Winning her third straight conference meet, Pornnapa Inmee carded 78 and 83 rounds for a 17-over 161 for a four stroke victory.
Saya Schweitzer finished runner-up for the second straight meet, one behind Inmee with an opening 79 before slipping four strokes back at 21-over 165 following an 86 closing round.
Andrea Peraza and Yu Wei Chiang flipped results in the two days to tie for fourth at 26-over 170, Chiang up three strokes with a first round 82 to card an 88 in the final round while Peraza posted consistent twin 85 scores.
Three Cougars improved in the final round to move up in the standings. Valentina Leyva bettered her 88 with an 85 to place 8th at 29-over 173 with Paulina Villavicencio improving her 90 by three strokes to tie for 9th at 33-over 177. Allyson Kaiser fell a spot to 15th at 55-over 199 with 96 and 103 rounds while Katina Bartel moved up a spot to 17th by shaving six strokes off an opening 107 to finish the tournament at 64-over 208.
