KYLE, Texas - After some cold weather postponed Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's second round on Monday, the Islanders finished off their spring season-opener at the Texas State Invitational in 14th place.
After working through a difficult second, junior
Alex Amos came roaring back with a five-over round to finish off the this week's invite and tie with teammate
Autumn Bynum for the top Islander performance. The pair both finished at 22-over for the two-day event, tying nine other athletes for 52nd overall, while Amos' result was just two off her season best of 20-over during the Pat Bradley Invitational in the fall.Â
Sophomore
Brooklyn Sutton would move a few spaces up the leaderboard as well on Tuesday, after hitting seven over par with a pair of birdies in round three. Sutton finished in a tie for 66th overall with teammate
Dani Bergmann, recording stroke counts of 81, 78 and 78 over the course of the tournament.Â
The Islanders shot 315 as a team in their final round, to close out their spring-opener at 938 and finish ahead of Southland rivals Stephen F. Austin and McNeese State. All five Islanders finished within the top-80 individually, one of 10 programs to do so this week, in a field of 17. Â
COMING UP NEXT
Corpus Christi get set to hold the annual Islander Classic this February 26th-27th, with a scheduled three rounds of play at Corpus Christi Golf Club. The Blue and Green finished third overall at the home tournament last year, finishing ahead of SLC opponents McNeese State, Lamar and Incarnate Word, along with South Texas Showdown rival UTRGV.
