The No. 25 ISU women’s golf team took fifth place at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic on Tuesday.

The Cyclones shot for a team total of 896 in a three-round battle with 11 fellow top-40 women’s golf teams of Golfstat.

“This meet was a great starting point for the spring season,” said ISU coach Christie Martens.

Junior Prima Thammaraks led the team with a tally of 222, which tied her for 11th place individually. Thammaraks opened her three-round play by firing a back-to-back count of 73 with a third-round score of 76.

“Prima played steady and had a really good attitude,” Martens said. “I was really impressed by her and her approach this week.”

Thammaraks said that her putting was on point.

“I was confident in my putting and how it would stay consistent, and it really did,” Thammaraks said. “I made the putts I needed to, especially when I was struggling. When you make the putt, you keep the momentum going.”

Sophomore Chonlada Chayanun took runner-up for the team with a three-round total of 224, finishing in a tie for 16th individually.

“Chonlada really responded well. We challenged her and she held us together,” Martens said.

After a slow start on the first 18, Chayanun recorded a career-low score of 70 in her third round of the tournament.

“The first nine, I was very negative. There were hazards and bunkers everywhere,” Chayanun said. “The third round, my attitude changed and I kept being positive. New hole, new shot.”

Senior Punpaka Phuntumabamrung tied sophomore Beth Wagner for 18th, both with 225. Wagner, who competed as an individual, fired a career-best cumulative score, shattering her previous record by 10 strokes, as well as a career-best 18-hole score of 73 in the first two rounds of play.

Despite consistency throughout ISU scores, No. 6 Alabama took home first with a three-round total of 871, followed by No. 12 Arkansas with 884.

“They [Iowa State] played with a lot of consistency which is great, but we also saw a lot of things they need to work on,” Martens said.

The Cyclones recorded 17 double bogeys in three rounds, which Martens said is not normal for the team. Martens said her golfers need more knockdowns to change some shot selections.

The women’s golf team plans to keep the consistency rolling by working on short game, wedges and facing some other issues that arose in Puerto Rico.
