GULF SHORES, Ala. – South Dakota State golfer Teresa Toscano won her third consecutive tournament title, claiming medalist honors Sunday at the Bama Beach Bash played at Gulf Shores Golf Club.
A senior from Huelva, Spain, Toscano fired a 1-under 71 in Sunday's final round to finish the three-day event with a 3-under total of 213 (73-69-71). She entered Sunday with a three-stroke lead and finished four strokes ahead of Chantal Dueringer of Louisiana-Monroe at 217 (73-72-72) in the 90-player field. Toscano won tournament titles at the Jackrabbit Invitational and Lady Thunderbird Invitational earlier this month.
Toscano played a bogey-free round through the first 17 holes on Sunday, carding one birdie on the front nine before recording birdies on three of four holes in one stretch on the back nine. A triple-bogey eight on the final hole prevented her winning margin from being larger.
In the team standings, the Jackrabbits finished sixth out of 15 teams in the Bama Beach Bash, finishing with a 54-hole total of 908 (311-299-298). South Alabama claimed the team title with an 891 team score (303-291-297), followed by Texas State (308-304-288) and Louisiana-Monroe (300-291-209) tied for second at 900.
Mia Seeman also registered a top-20 individual finish for the Jackrabbits, tying for 16th at 228 (80-70-78). Hester Sicking tied for 21st with a three-round total of 230 (78-78-74) and Lani Potter tied for 44th at 238 (81-82-75).
Rounding out the SDSUÂ team effort was senior Cassidy Laidlaw, who turned a three-round total of 241 (80-82-79) to finish in a tie for 56th.
Competing as an individual, Alex Kandolin tied for 52nd with a total of 240 (77-80-83).
