LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Oklahoma State's Cowgirl Golf team won the team title here Wednesday afternoon in the Roadrunner Invitational, hosted by the University of New Mexico. OSU barely won by a single stroke over second-place New Mexico State, which shot the best round of the tournament with a 287.
Cowgirl freshman Linda Wessberg took the individual medalist honors shooting a final-round score of 69, the only sub-70 score of the tournament. Although her birdie on the 18th didn't clinch the team title, it did contribute to the win.
"Today's round felt really good," said Wessberg. "Golf is a lot different here than it is in Sweden. Here, in college golf, you play for the team. It felt great."
Junior All-American Maria Boden, however, did shoot the tournament-winning birdie on the 18th hole, clinching the tournament with an 885, one stroke ahead of the NMSU Aggies. Boden finished with a 221, good for fifth place individually.
New Mexico finished third as a team with a 893, while Washington finished fourth at 907. The Big 12's Oklahoma and Texas Tech both tied for fifth with a 911.
OSU freshman Christi Cano finished tied for 13th with a 225, while senior Natasha Rowe tied for 25th with a 229. Sophomore Emma Zackrisson tied for 32nd after shooting a one-under-par 71 on the final day.
This was the second-consecutive tournament that Oklahoma State has won, earning the team title at the Shootout at the Legends two weeks ago. It is also the third-of-four tournaments this season that an OSU golfer has won the individual title. Boden won both the Big 12 Preview and the Shootout at the Legends.
Oklahoma State will return to the golf course next spring when they open the 2000 season February 7 at the Regional Challenge in Palos Verdes, Calif.
