Tulane's Bonnie Hanlin Wins Lady Eagle Invitational
HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Tulane women's golfer Bonnie Hanlin captured medalist honors at the Lady Eagle Invitational, Tuesday afternoon at Timberton Golf Club. Hanlin shot a two-round total of 151 to win the individual title at team's first event of the spring.
Hanlin, a sophomore from Tulsa, Okla, posted a final round 75 to join a playoff with Troy State's Jennilyn Tidwell and Arkansas-Little Rock's Kerri DeHaven. Hanlin won her first collegiate event on the first hole of the playoff.
Hanlin's performance keyed a strong Tulane team effort, as the Green Wave finished third in the 17-team field. The Wave's two-round total of 621 was just six strokes behind tournament winner Southern Miss.
Two other Tulane golfers posted top-10 finishes, as Pam Buff and Meghan Bolger finished in a tie for fourth. Both carded tournament totals of 154. Other Tulane finishers included Christy Carter and Pia Alamaki, who finished tied for 38th with a tournament total of 163.
The Tulane women's golf team will next be in action on March 5-7 at the Fripp Island Intercollegiate in Fripp Island, S.C.
