Day Three Results / Round Four Tee Times
EUGENE, Ore. - Purdue junior August Kim kept her goals of All-America status and a national championship alive Sunday afternoon, shooting one-over par, 73, and advancing to the fourth day of the NCAA Women's Golf Championships. Sitting at even-par, 216, after the first three rounds, Kim earned 1-of-9 individual advancement spots to the championship round, and will play 18 more holes at Eugene Country Club tomorrow.
Kim played solid golf Sunday, sinking 15 pars through the round with only a couple hiccups. She opened with a birdie on the par-four, 10th hole and backed it up with seven straight pars to sit one-under after eight. The turn brought back-to-back bogeys for the Boilermaker junior, but she quickly righted the ship and finished the round with eight consecutive pars.
Kim's 38 pars of the first 54 holes are tied for 11th-most in the field, while her nine birdies give her only seven holes over par so far in tournament play as she sits tied for 15th place. Duke's Virginia Elena Carter leads the tournament at 13-under par, setting a 54-hole record for the NCAA Championships. Wake Forest's Jennifer Kupcho, Miami's Dewi Weber and Alabama's Cheyenne Knight are tied for second, sitting six strokes back at seven-under.
Tournament play resumes Monday at 10:30 a.m. ET, while Kim is scheduled to tee off at 4 p.m. ET, opening play on the front-nine.
