LINCOLN, Neb. - Oklahoma State's Maria Boden shot a final-round 69 and won the individual title here Tuesday afternoon in the Big 12 Fall Preview, leading the Cowgirls to a second-place finish. The OSU junior won the tournament by one stroke over Nebraskas Sarah Sasse, who had led the tournament since the first round.
Boden, who trailed Sasse by five strokes entering Tuesdays round, recorded a birdie on the second hole and an eagle on the par-4 fourth to cut the lead to one. She tied for the first time on the fifth hole when Sasse shot a bogey, and took a one-stroke lead on the 12th.
Sasse tied the score again on the 17th hole with a birdie, but on 18, she carded a five on the par 4 and Bodn scored a par to win the tournament.
Cowgirl JoAnn Heller, who failed to qualify during the week and was playing as an individual, recorded a one-over 73 on the final day and finished tied for 10th with a 229. Her four-under 32 on the back nine was the lowest nine-hole round of the tournament.
Sophomore Emma Zackrisson and freshman Christi Cano both tied for 15th with identical scores of 231, while freshman Linda Wessberg finished tied for 29th. Senior Natasha Rowe finished tied for 40th.
Oklahoma State will next compete in the Dick McGuire Invitational, Sept. 23-25, in Albuquerque, N.M.
