Last Time Out
Yvonne Chamness turned in an impressive first outing of the season to lead the Texas State women's golf team at the Sam Golden Invitational. The senior posted three rounds in the 60s en route to sharing runner-up honors at the event.
Chamness (68-69-69—206) closed out the final 18 at -3 with a performance that included a pair of birdies and an eagle. She was second in the field on par 4s, going 7-under, and collected 12 birdies. Her 10-under, 206 performance matched her best from a season ago when she shot identical rounds and placed second at the Ron Moore Intercollegiate.
As a team, TXST finished seventh at -18 and had four total golfers shoot even or under par for the tournament, a feat it did not accomplish last season. Missouri won the event at -40, while Tulsa and North Texas tied for second at -24.

Chamness carded 12 birdies and an eagle at the event and finished -7 on par 4s, the second-best score of the tournament.
