NORMAN, Okla. – The Texas State's women's golf team concluded the Schooner Fall Classic in 15th place after posting a three-round score of 306+290+295=891 (+39) as a team at the par-71 6,063-yard Belmar Golf Course.

"I walked with Sasikarn today and I saw some great things to build on for the remainder of the fall season," head women's golf coach Lisa Strom said. "She has not been on form this fall but with some dedication on her part and help from her coaching staff, I am confident she can be better than before. She strung 10 awesome holes together today and the challenge is to focus on that as well as to give the effort and time to really turn the corner. It is like she is getting an update and 'Aom 3.0' will be even better than before."

Alabama, the defending NCAA runner-up, cruised to a team championship after shooting a 272+262+273=807 (-45) to establish a new NCAA record-low 54-hole team mark. The Crimson Tide held a 10-stroke advantage over Texas heading into the final round of action and before finishing the tournament 17-strokes ahead of the Longhorns. UT ended the tournament in second place in the team standings after scoring 272+272+280=824 (-28) over the three-day tournament. Host Oklahoma finished the tournament in third place with a score of 289+267+275=831 (-21).

In the individual standings, Jiwon Jeon of Alabama ran away with the title with a three-round line of 66+64+66=196 (-17). Teammate Lauren Stephenson earned runner-up honors after shooting 66+65+68=199 (-14). Amber Park of Texas A&M took third with a tournament score of 66+67+69=202 (-11).

She was even through the first nine holes of the day after a birdie on No. 12. Yip scored a par on 13-of-18 holes played in the first round.

Round Two
White led the Bobcats in the second round of action with a round score of 71 (E). The Michigan-native notched three birdies on No. 3, No. 9 and No. 11. Mora saw the biggest improvement of all Bobcat golfers from round one to round two. She shot a 72 (+1) in the second round and birdied No. 8, No. 17 and No. 18. Wong posted a round-two score of 73 (+2) after birdies on No. 11 and No. 18.

Yip posted a second-round score of 74 (+3) to round out Texas State's scoring in the second round. She holed birdies on No. 1 and No. 10. Somboonsup, the Bobcat's final golfer, added 82 strokes to her tally. She notched a birdie on No. 16.

Round Three
Somboonsup turned in her best round of the weekend to lead the Bobcats in the final round of play. The junior carded a 72 (+1) with birdies on No. 11, No. 16 and No. 18. Mora carded a 73 (+2) in the third round and recorded a pair of birdies on No. 11 and No. 18.

Wong, the lowest-scoring Bobcat of the weekend, registered a 74 (+3) with a trio of birdies in her first six holes played. The Central Arkansas transfer was 3-under on No. 10, No. 11 and No. 15 after starting her day on the tee box at No. 9.

White scored a 76 (+5) in the final round. She birdied No. 8 and No. 18. Her birdie on No. 18 gave her birdies on six-of-12 par-5 holes at the Schooner Fall Classic. Yip rounded out the Bobcat lineup with a 77 (+6).

"Although I did not see the other play today, I know Sean continues to beat her scoring average from last season," Strom said. "Each day she does that, she inches a little bit closer to a new comfort zone. Geraldine managed her way around a golf course that played very long for her. One thing she does really well is that she plays within herself and does not try to do something she is not made to do yet."
