Buffs Wrap Up The Fall Season Ninth In Miami
October 31, 2023 | Women's Golf
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The University of Colorado women's golf team concluded the fall portion of its season with a ninth-place finish at the 2023 Miami Hurricane Invitational which wrapped up Tuesday at the Biltmore Golf Course.
Colorado shot 8-over-par, 872, at the 54-hole event, including 3-over, 291, in Tuesday's final round.
Miami won the team title at 27-under, 10 strokes better than Oklahoma (-17). South Florida came in third (-11) followed by Texas State (-6) and Augusta (-5).
Sophomore Morgan Miller capped off a record-breaking fall season, tying for third place at 8-under, 208, after a 71 in the final round. Miller had an early bogey on the back – just her second of the tournament – but avoided any further slips. She got back to even with a birdie on the par 5, No. 1, and closed out with a second one on her final hole, the par 3, No. 8, to finish in the red for the 11th time in 15 fall season rounds.
Miami's Sara Byrne went wire-to-wire for medalist honors at 19-under, 197, nine strokes better than South Florida's Melanie Green (-10).
"Really proud of Morgan and her tied-for-third finish," Colorado head coach Anne Kelly said. "She played a solid round of golf and had a great ball striking day. She finished up the fall on a very good note."
Miller set fall season school records for stroke average (70.40) and score in relation to par (-1.4), breaking Robyn Choi's 2018-19 marks of 71.44 and -0.88 respectively. During Monday's first two rounds, she recorded her sixth and seventh round of the 60s in the season, breaking the season record of five she held with Esther Lee (2014-15).
Graduate senior Sabrina Iqbal finished 25th overall at even-par, 216. She shot a 72 in the final round, making par on 16 of 18 holes with a birdie on the par 5 No. 18 and a bogey on the par 4 No. 2 keeping her at even for the tournament.
Iqbal had an impressive fall season in her own right. She surpassed Choi's fall season records herself, coming in behind Miller with a stroke average of 70.92 and a -1.08 score in relation to par.
Junior Maria Eidhagen Harrouch finished tied for 45th overall at 7-over, 223. She shot 74 in Tuesday's final round, highlighted by three birdies on the back nine, including back-to-back at the par 4, No. 17, and on No. 18.
Freshmen Francesca Sumcad and Carolyn Fuller tied for 58th overall at 12-over, 228. Fuller had her best of three rounds on Tuesday with a 2-over, 74, counting toward the team score for the first time in her young career. Sumcad shot 5-over, 77, in the final round.
"Our team has some work to do," Kelly said. "We made some progress this fall, but too inconsistent. This team has great promise, but we need to put in the work necessary for more consistent performances and to be more competitive."
Colorado will begin its spring season at the San Diego State Classic, Feb. 12-13, 2024.
