HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - The Western Michigan golf team concluded play at the Women's Golf
Classic on Tuesday with junior Elise Swartout leading the way with a
12th place finish. Swartout finished in the top 10 in scoring on the par-4 holes during the event.
Swartout recorded her third top-15 finish of the season and second in as many events after finishing 10th at the 2009 Duramed Collegiate Invitational at Rio Verde, which took place at the beginning of March.
Katrina Templar made the biggest jump on her scorecard during Tuesday's final round, shaving eight strokes off her score from Monday's afternoon round to card a 10-over par 82 during her last 18 holes.
Western Michigan finished 20th at the UALR Women's Golf Classic with the host team, Arkansas-Little Rock, claiming the team title after making it through a playoff with second-place finisher, Florida International. UMKC's Kelsey Kipp emerged as the tournament's medalist, edging out Eastern Michigan's Stephany Fleet by one stroke.
Western Michigan continues its spring season April 5-7 during the 54-hole Indiana/Otter Creek Invitational hosted by the Hoosiers in Columbus, Ind.
