The Iowa State women’s golf team took fourth at the Big 12 Championships, with two freshmen finishing inside the top five.

The Cyclones finished the weekend with a three-round team score of 877(+13). They finished in the middle of the pack after the first two days, finishing in sixth after round one and then moving to fifth after round two. After a collapse of a third round by Texas Tech, who went 18 over par as a team, the Cyclones slid into fourth place.

Freshman Pammy Chookaew was the standout for Iowa State this weekend, finishing second in what is no doubt her best outing of the season.

Here are the three big takeaways from the Cyclones’ Big 12 Championships campaign.

Chookaew finished the first two days in first place overall, shooting a 67(-5) in round one and a 73(+1) in round two. She shot another 73(+1) in the final round, with a three-round total of 213(-3).

Chul-Ak-Sorn was tied for 11th after round one and then dropped into a tie for 14th at the end of round two. She carded a 70(-2) in her final round with a three-round total of 216(E), jumping up nine spots to finish in fifth place.

Liyana Durisic started her campaign this weekend with an 83(+11) in the first round, finishing second-to-last overall. She took a huge leap in round 2, carding a 68(-4) and finishing in a tie for 30th.
