The Big 12 Championship concluded Tuesday as the women’s golf team finished in eighth place with a +20 score.
With the final round being its best, Iowa State broke the tie with Kansas and avoided finishing last.
The team was led by Joy Chou and Liyana Durisic. After a strong first round and rough second, Chou rebounded and finished strong. She replicated her first round by shooting par and finished the tournament at +4 tied for 24th. Durisic shot one over par for the round and also finished tied for 24th at +4.
The Cyclones struggled to make up ground as they finished last in made-birdies at 36.
Durisic, the Cyclones’ top golfer, finished tied for the lead in the amount of pars sunk with 42.
Iowa State capped off its Big 12 season on a sour note being ranked ahead of TCU and Kansas State prior to the Championship but making a near-last finish.
