San Diego ? Kansas University’s women’s golf team fell to Oregon, 4-1, in San Diego State’s March Mayhem at the Farms on Wednesday and placed eighth in the 16-team tournament.
KU senior Yupapaorn Kawinpakorn claimed to 3-up victory against Oregon’s Petra Salko in a match that ended early because Oregon had clinched the team match. Kawinpakorn split her matches in San Diego, 2-2.
“The biggest lesson we learned is that there is very little different between us and teams ranked in the top 25,” KU coach Erin O’Neil said. “It boils down to chipping, putting and knowing when to go for a pin versus playing for the center of the green.”
KU will next compete in the DAC/SMU Invitational on April 1-2 in Dallas.
