STANFORD, Calif. – Baylor women’s golf finished off a 2-over 854 on Sunday to finish in fifth place at the Stanford Intercollegiate.

The Bears were led by sophomore transfer Sera Hasegawa, whose 4-under 209 tied her for seventh, her best finish since the SoCon Championship last April with East Tennessee State. Rosie Belsham also carded her first top-10 of the season with a 3-under 210, which was good enough to tie for ninth.

Host and top-ranked Stanford won the event with a score of 15-under 837, 10 shots better than second-place San Jose State. Stanford sophomore Rose Zhang took home individual medalist honors with a score of 13-under 200.

THE RUNDOWN
Starting on No. 5, Hasegawa birdied her first hole of the day and added another at No. 12 to go bogey-free on her opening nine. She made a third birdie on her 11th hole of the day before carding her only bogey of the round at No. 18. The sophomore added another birdie at No. 3 to put a bow on a 3-under 68 and a tie for seventh place.

Belsham also started on No. 5, but bogeyed her opening hole before getting it back with a birdie at No. 8. The junior added a birdie at No. 12 to get into red figures for the first time on Sunday. She added a birdie on her 12th hole of the day at No. 16. After making a birdie at her penultimate hole, Belsham closed strong with a birdie on the final hole to notch a top-10 finish.

Silje Ohma finished tied for 25th, her second-straight top-25 finish to begin her collegiate career. The freshman bogeyed her opening hole of the round for a third-straight day, but it would be her last bogey of the round for a second time in those three days. Ohma followed the bogey at No. 6 with 17-straight pars for a 1-over 72.

BaiMai Seema finished tied for 68th following a 4-over 75 in the final round. Seema bogeyed two of her first three holes before carding her first birdie of the day at No. 12. After giving a stroke back at 13, she birdied 16 but dropped three shots with a bogey at No. 17 and a double bogey at No. 18. Seema closed her round with seven-straight pars.

Britta Snyder shot a 7-over 77 on Sunday and finished tied for 82nd. The junior opened with three-straight bogeys at Nos. 8-10. After three-straight pars, Snyder sandwiched a birdie at No. 15 between bogeys at Nos. 14 and 16 to close her opening nine. On her closing nine, she carded birdies at Nos. 1 and 6 but made bogeys at Nos. 2, 3, 5 and 6.
