THE RUNDOWN
PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas – Baylor women’s golf finished in seventh place after shooting 7-over-par 871 across three rounds at the White Sands Invitational. The Bears carded 4-under 284 in Wednesday’s final round to move up one spot on the leaderboard.

She posted a clean final round with four birdies and 14 pars to card 4-under 68 and climb into a tie for sixth place at 5-under 211.
