Calderon Finishes 10th, Minhas 12th at LeTourneau Classic

Freshman Liz Calderon finished in tenth place individually and sophomore teammate Surraya Minhas 12th at the LeTourneau Spring Classic.  Although both players were coming off lengthy layoffs and struggled with their respective games during the tournament, both posted solid finishes.

Calderon had trouble on the final day with big numbers.  Although she had seven pars and a birdie in her round, she also couldn't avoid triple bogeys and a quadruple bogey.  Her start with indicative of her final round.  On the first hole, she had trouble around the green which led to an opening 8 on the par 4 hole.  She rebounded well on the next series of holes, recording a par, birdie, par, par and par.  On her seventh hole however, Calderon struggled with a hazard and recorded a triple bogey.  She put that hole behind her and started another string of solid holes.  Calderon was in eighth place after the first round and Minhas was ninth.

For Minhas, inconsistencies around the greens on the first day turned into issues from tee to green on the second and she could never get her game going.  Still, both players finished in the Top 10 among players in the American Southwest Conference.  Both will play at the ASC Championships next week.
