Golf Places Fourth at SLC Championship

SAN ANTONIO – For the third year in a row, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi golf program placed fourth at the Southland Conference Championship after three rounds at Hill Country Club.
 
The Islanders were in fourth for nearly the entire tournament. They finished with a three-round score of 937 after three days and carded a 311 on the final day. Their best round was Tuesday when they registered a 308.
 
Top-10 finishes came from senior Maria Beltran and junior Lucie Charbonnier as they tied with scores of 232. Both student-athletes recorded their best round Tuesday when Beltran turned in a 75 and Charbonnier a 76.
 
Freshman Lucia Ramirez and senior Lucy Martinez notched their best rounds Wednesday with 77's apiece. Ramirez ended in 12th with a 235, while Martinez finished in 21st with a 238. Sophomore Reagan Gray tallied a 249.
 
"I'm very proud of the effort of the team this week. I think with a few more weeks of having Lucie and Lucia in the lineup it could have been a different story for the team this week. Both Lucie and Maria finished ninth. Maria has been very solid for us the entire spring season," said head coach Pat Stephens. "We are now looking for to defending our team title at the PGA Works Championship in a couple weeks."
 
The Islanders were 27 strokes out of first-place behind Augusta, which won the tournament by one shot over UIW.
 
A&M-Corpus Christi will play in a postseason tournament for the third year in a row when it competes in the PGA Works Championship on May 8-10. The Islanders are the two-time defending champions of the tournament.
