WACO, Texas - The 36th-ranked Baylor women's golf team shot the second-lowest round of the tournament with a 299 for a three round total 918 to tie the program's highest-ever finish Wednesday at the 2007 Big 12 Championship at the 6,142 yard, par-72 Ridgewood Country Club in Waco, Texas.
Freshman Hannah Burke (Hertfordshire, England) shot a final round 76 to lead the Bears tied for eighth at 230 (77-77-76). Burke was named to the Big 12 All-Tournament Team, finishing among the top 10 at the championship.
Senior Allison Martin (Bakersfield, Calif.) carded her best round of the tournament with a 74 to tie for 12th at 231 (79-78-74). Senior Anna Rehnholm (Karlskrona, Sweden) fired an even-par 72 to improve to tie for 15th with a three round total 232 (81-79-72), while Freshman Natalie Hocott (San Antonio, Texas) shot a final round 77 tie for 15th at 232 (75-80-77). Junior Sian Reddick (Folkestone, England) finished the day tied for 28th with a three round total 237 (77-77-83).
"I felt like we spun our wheels a little bit yesterday, but had a great crowd today and was able to close it down a little bit in the end. I really felt that yesterday's back nine was our tournament. We had the lead for a little bit, but had way too many bogeys. Overall, I'm proud of the Baylor Bears," said head coach Sylvia Ferdon.
Texas A&M claimed the overall team championship for the second straight year with a three-round total 911. Texas A&M led by five strokes over Oklahoma State and seven strokes over Baylor.
Amanda Costner of Kansas took home the individual title with a 54-hole total 221 (71-73-77), edging Texas A&M's Ashley Knoll by three strokes.
The Bears will await the NCAA Regional selections April 30. The NCAA Regional Championships will be held May 10-12.
