The ISU women’s golf team finished fourth at the Big 12 Championships, tying a school-record performance at the conference meet they set last year.

The Cyclones carded an 882 through three rounds, 10 strokes behind first-place Texas.

Texas won the tournament, Texas A&M finished second and Missouri placed third.

The Cyclones made a run in the second round shooting a 285, which was the low score for the round, and tied for the fourth-best 18-hole round in school history, and best ever in a conference tournament.

This pushed them up to second place, two shots behind Texas, entering the final round.

Senior Victoria Stefansen led the way for the Cyclones. She tied for fourth individually with a total score of 216, marking the 13th top-10 finish of her career. She also earned Big 12 All-Tournament team honors.

Freshman Prima Thammaracks carded a 221 to tie for 12th in her first Big 12 Championships appearance. Sophomore Punpaka Phuntumabamrung tied for 18th with a 223. Sasikarn On-iam tied for 23rd at 224, and Laurence Herman tied for 32nd with a 227.

After finishing fourth, the Cyclones are guaranteed an invite to their second-straight NCAA Regionals, which take place May 5-7.
