PALOS VERDES, Calif. -- After being as high as fifth on the final day of competition, the Gators placed seventh at the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge.
The finish was better than six top 25 teams including No. 2 Duke and No. 8 Oklahoma State. The Gators carded a three round total of 889 (+37) at Palos Verdes Golf Club while having two players finish in the top 25 on the leaderboard.
Carlotta Ricolfi was Florida's top finisher placing 11th in the event with a three day total of 219 (+6). With her final round score of 74 (+3), Ricolfi was able to move up three positions to finish just outside of the top 10.
Taylor Tomlinson matched Ricolfi's final round score of 74 to move up 10 spots and into a tie for 23rd overall. Tomlinson, who recorded her first collegiate hole-in-one in round two, turned in a three round total of 222 (+9).
Sierra Brooks was finished two shots behind Tomlinson and in a tie for 34th on the leaderboard. Marta Perez, who moved up nine spots in round three to place 41st, was one of two Gators (Ricolfi, 11) to finish with double-digit birdies for the week.
Perez circled the scorecard four times on Tuesday, bookending her round with birdies on No. 7 and No. 6.
The Gators are back on the course Sunday when they travel to New Orleans for the Allstate Sugar Bowl at English Turn Golf & Country Club.
Coach's Take:
On the play today -- "The course played difficult today as you can see from the scores. We missed an opportunity to pass a lot of people by shooting a decent number." -Coach Emily Glaser
On effort and moving forward -- "I never saw anyone let up. We just made some mistakes in areas where we should have been more disciplined and we will work on that for next week. We will take away a lot from this event. A lot of positives and a lot of things to work on to have us where we want to be in April and May. I'm really excited about where we are heading and how we are developing." -Coach Glaser
