VERONA, Wis. - The Purdue women's golf team wrapped up its season with an 11th-place finish at the NCAA Madison Regional at University Ridge Golf Course on Wednesday, shooting eight-over par, 296, and finishing 16-over par for the tournament. Junior Ida Ayu Indira Melati Putri shot under par for the second straight day, posting a final-round, two-under 70, and logging the Boilermakers' top individual finish, tying for 23rd place.
The Boilermakers opened play strong Wednesday, making six early birdies, dropping their overall team score as low as six-over par and pulling to within four strokes of the cut line. Putri did the bulk of the early work, making birdies on No. 11, No. 13 and No. 16, while classmate Covadonga SanJuan had a pair of birdies and senior Marta Martin made one. Putri went on to play even on the front side, but the Boilermakers just couldn't get it going as a team, making only three birdies total on the first nine holes.
Putri finished one-over par, 77-70-70=217, for the tournament, while Martin shot four-over par in the final round and finished two-over par, 72-70-76=218, after 54 holes, tying for 30th place in her final collegiate event. SanJuan shot one-over par, 73, in the final round, finishing four over for the tournament, while sophomore Micaela Farah and Inez Wanamarta tied for the final team score of the final round, shooting five-over par, 77.
Duke took the regional title, finishing 14-under par, while Virginia, USC, Arizona State, Ohio State and Northwestern claimed the other five team qualifying spots for the NCAA Championships. Oregon State's Nicole Schroeder took medalist honors at 10-under par, earning one of three individual qualifying spots for nationals. She'll be joined by Wisconsin's Gabby Curtis and Indiana's Erin Harper.
