Sooners Finish Fifth at Sam Golden

September 14, 2021 | Women's Golf

DENTON, Texas – The Oklahoma women's golf team finished the Sam Golden Invitational in fifth place with Mikhaela Fortuna leading the Sooners with a 9-under 207 at the par-72 Wildhorse Golf Club on Tuesday.

"We are disappointed with the results today but there are many positives to take from this week," said OU head women's golf coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell. "We are a very good team and I'm excited to see where we go from here."

Fortuna, who entered the final 18 holes tied for sixth after shooting back-to-back rounds of 70-68 on Monday, closed the tournament with a 3-under 69 on the final day to finish tied for seventh. She finished the front nine at even par and tallied three birdies on the back nine, sinking back-to-back birdies on 16 and 17. Fortuna totaled 13 birdies through the two-day event and finished 5 under on par-4 holes.

Meagan Winans and Hannah Screen finished tied for 28th after each recorded a 1-under 215. Screen concluded the tournament with an even-par 72, while Winans finished with a 1-over 73 in her first tournament in the Crimson and Cream. Screen finished the front nine 1 over and knocked in a birdie on 12 to finish even par on the day. 

Maria Fernanda Martinez, who opened the tournament with a career-low 68, tied for 33rd with an even-par 216. Libby Winans rounded out the OU contingent with a 1-over 217 to finish tied for 37th. 

The Sooners were one of only three teams to finish under par on par-4 holes, tallying a 3-under total throughout the tournament to rank as the second best among the 15-team field.

OU returns to Norman to host its annual home tournament, the Schooner Fall Classic, at Belmar Golf Club, Sept. 26-27.
