Junior Pam Buff put together three consistent rounds of 75, 77, and 76, totaling 228 to finish in a tie for ninth place. This marked the 16th time she has finished in the top-10 in a tournament in her collegiate career. She was second best on the par-3's and par-5's, playing 1-under on those holes for the tourney. She tallied seven birdies over the three day event.
