ATHENS, Ga. — Caterina Don's runner-up performance led four Bulldogs who posted top-10 finishes in the rain-shortened Lady Bulldog Individual Invitational on Saturday. Originally scheduled for 36 holes, the tournament ended following the first round at the UGA Golf Course after rain delays made playing the complete second on Saturday impossible.
"It's great to start the spring season, compete and just get going," head coach Josh Brewer said. "Even though it's an individual tournament, we had a lot of really good scores and people continue to make their case for helping us get started for a strong spring."
Don, a fifth-year senior from Pinerolo, Italy, fired a 2-under 70 and finished a stroke behind Washington's Stefanie Deng. In addition, LoraLie Cowart and Natachanok "Drive" Tunwannarux tied for fourth at even-par 72 and Kate Song played eighth with a 73.
"Caterina continued what is shaping up to be a very special senior year for her," Brewer said. "LoraLie showed how much she's learned and how she continues to grow. It was nice to have Drive back in competition and playing well."
Don covered the front half of the UGA Golf Course at 2-under, notching birdies at No. 6 and No. 9. She moved to 4-under with back-to-back red numbers at Nos. 12-13 but posted a double bogey at No. 16.
In addition, to the quartet of Bulldogs in the top 10, Savannah De Bock tied for 11th, Bernice Olivarez Ilas tied for 16th, Grace Frei tied for 19th, Celine Brovold Sanne tied for 24th and Isabella Helper tied for 28th.
The Bulldogs will being the team portion of their spring season next weekend when they compete in the Collegiate Invitational at Guadalajara Country Club on Friday and Saturday.
"We're happy to have some competition under our belts before heading to Guadalajara very soon," Brewer said."
