Tartans Win Carnegie Mellon Shootout and Break Two School Records

From Carnegie Mellon University Athletics

The Carnegie Mellon University women's golf team continued play at the Carnegie Mellon Spring Shootout Sunday, April 9 at The Links at Spring Church in Apollo, Pennsylvania. The Tartans carded a team score of 313 on Sunday to win the 36-hole event with a 631 (318-313) on the par-72, 5,863-yard course. The Tartans team score of 313 on Sunday topped the school record for the lowest round while the 631 set the school record for the lowest two-round score.

Freshman Lavonca Davis (Pickerington, Ohio) and junior Summer Kitahara (Greenwich, Conn./Rye Country Day) both shot identical rounds of 77 and 78 to finish with a 155. The two Tartans played in a playoff for individual medalist honors with Davis winning on the second hole of a sudden death playoff with a birdie putt on hole one after both golfers birdied hole 18.

Freshman Yedin Lui (Idaho Falls, Idaho) tied a personal-best round of 77 on Sunday to end the shootout with a 159 (82-77).
