FORT WORTH, Texas — Baylor women’s golf finished its fall slate with a seventh-place finish at the Charles Schwab Women’s Collegiate Tuesday at Ridglea Country Club.

The Bears were led by Sera Hasegawa and her 1-over 214, which was good enough to tie for 10th. Tuesday marked her second top-10 in as many weeks entering the winter break. The senior played six of her final eight rounds of the fall at par or better. Texas A&M’s Cayetana Fernandez shot the round of the day to overtake her teammate, Vanessa Borovilos, for individual medalist honors.

The Aggies came up just a couple of shots short of Wake Forest, who led wire-to-wire, capturing the win with a 5-over 857. Baylor's 31-over 883 was 11 shots back of sixth-place Kentucky and four shots ahead of eighth-place Oklahoma.

THE RUNDOWN
Hasegawa went out with a 1-over 36 after bogeys at Nos. 13 and 17 and a birdie at No. 18. A 3-over stretch at Nos. 3 and 4 dropped her to 4-over, but she responded with two birdies across her final five holes to shoot a 2-over 73.

Ashleen Kaur closed her tournament with a 4-over 75 on Tuesday to finish tied for 29th. After four pars to open things, Kaur made four straight bogeys at Nos. 14-17. Her first birdie of the day came at No. 7 but was offset by a bogey at No. 8.

Silje Ohma carded her best round of the week with a 1-over 72 in the final round. A birdie at No. 14 put the junior at 1-under through seven holes before her first bogey of the day came at No. 17. Four-straight pars preceded her final bogey of the day at No. 4, netting her a tie for 40th.

Jenny Lee tied for 40th as well on the heels of a 5-over 76 in the final round. Four bogeys cost her four shots after opening with a birdie at No. 10, making the turn with a 3-over 38. Three more bogeys at Nos. 2-4 dropped her to 6-over before she closed strong with a birdie at No. 9.

BaiMai Seema came home tied for 44th after a 3-over 74 on Tuesday. Rebounding from back-to-back bogeys to start, Seema made her first birdie at No. 12, followed by a bogey at No. 17 and a birdie at No. 18. Turning in 36, Seema carded two more bogeys at Nos. 1 and 2 but responded with another birdie at No. 3. Two more bogeys came at Nos. 4 and 5, but she closed with a birdie at No. 18.

Competing as an individual, Bridget Boczar carded Baylor’s second-best score with a 7-over 220, good enough to tie for 24th.

QUOTABLE:
Head coach Jay Goble — “This week we just did not have our best stuff. We were so excited about playing close to home, so we are disappointed to not have played better, but that happens sometimes. This is a great team with tons of talent. We will be ready for the spring and our championship season after a lot of hard work this winter.”

WHAT’S NEXT
The Bears will enter the winter break, returning to action in about three months at the Match in the Desert on Jan. 27, 2025, in Superstation Mountain, Ariz. For more information on Baylor Women's Golf, follow @BaylorWGolf on X, Instagram and Facebook.
