NORMAN -- The University of Oklahoma women's golf team finished the Ruth's Chris Tar Heel Invitational in 17th place Sunday. The 54-hole tournament was played at the 6,379-yard, par-72 UNC Finley Golf Course in Chapel Hill, N.C.

The Sooners carded a three-round 920 (+56) in the event, which featured 10 teams ranked in the Golfweek/Sagarin top 25. Defending national champion and No. 6-ranked Duke won the tournament with an 862 (-2) and was followed by No. 1-ranked South Carolina, which carded an 864 (E). No. 25 North Carolina State finished third at 878 (+14).

OU's Ana Ruiz led the Sooners on the weekend, recording a three-round 222 (+6). Ruiz shot a final-round 77 (+5) and finished the tournament tied for 25th place out of 96 competitors.

Sooner freshman Hannah Wood and sophomore Alexandra Kaui shared a 53rd-place finish at 228 (+12). Wood logged a 74 (+2) in the final round, while Kaui shot a 77 (+5).

Freshman Rylee Pedigo tied for 89th place at 26 over and Maggie Neece followed at +29 to finish in 91st.

Sixth-year OU head coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell said she is excited for her team to grow in the weeks leading up to the next tournament.

“We learned a lot about our team this weekend,” Drouin-Luttrell said. “There are some things we need to work on before our next tournament. Ana (Ruiz) had a good week. She posted some solid rounds, and we hope that will build her confidence going into the Alamo Invitational.”

The Sooners will return to the course Oct. 26-28 when they travel to San Antonio, Texas, for the Alamo Invitational.
