The Alabama women’s golf team wrapped up its regular season in Athens, Georgia, at the Liz Murphey Intercollegiate on Wednesday.
The tournament began in 1973 and is a longstanding tradition for women’s collegiate golf. It is one of the oldest women’s collegiate golf events and one of the oldest across all women’s intercollegiate competitions, currently in its 53rd edition.
The event, hosted by the Georgia Bulldogs, is named after Liz Murphey, a Georgia golf coach who became the first-ever Women’s Golf Coaches Association National Coach of the Year in 1984.
The Crimson Tide scored a 30-over-par 894 at the event, landing a fourth-place team finish across the two-day competition.
Graduate student Kennedy Carroll climbed the individual leaderboard five positions on the final day, hanging her hat on an eighth-place finish at 5-over-par 221. This is Carroll’s second top 10 showing of the season.
Like Carroll, freshman Molly Brown Davidson climbed five positions in the final round, finishing individually at 10th and posting her second top 10 finish with a score of 6-over-par 222.
The remaining Alabama golfers fared well alongside Davidson and Carroll.
- Junior Mattison Frick tied for 16th with her third top 20 finish of the season, shooting 10-over-par 226.
- Junior Ryan Flynn finished in 20th place with the second-best finish of her season, shooting 13-over-par 229.
- Sophomore Julia Sanchez Morales finished in 20th place competing as an individual, carding a season-best 11-over-par 227.
