Driscoll's 68 Leads Strong Final Round By Women's Golf
September 05, 2023 | Women's Golf
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - - Sophomore Jasmine Driscoll turned in the lowest round of her Ball State career Tuesday to lead the women's golf team in the final round of the Boilermaker Classic at Kampen-Cosler Golf Course.
Driscoll, whose previous career-low was a 72 in the final round of the Falcon Florida Classic on Feb. 7, 2022, fired off a third-round 68 (-4) to tie for the second-lowest score among the 84-golfer field on the day.
"Jasmine played a great round of golf today," head coach Cameron Andry exclaimed. "She showed today what we've been seeing in practice all fall with elite ball striking and excellent putting. She has worked extremely hard, and it's nice to see that hard work paying off."
The round of 68, which included five birdies, also ties as the third-lowest round in program history, two off the program-record 66 set by Jenna Hague at the 2013 Hoosier Fall Invitational.
With the effort, Driscoll climbed into a tie for 37th overall with a 54-hole score of 225 (+9). Among the sextet of players tied at 225 (+9) was sophomore teammate Sarah Gallagher, who closed out the tournament with a 76, following scores of 75 and 74 in yesterday's opening two rounds.
Freshman JJ Gregston also turned in another big performance, shooting Ball State's second-lowest score on the final day, coming into the clubhouse at 75 (+3). The effort included her fifth birdie of the tournament and second straight on the par-3 second hole.
Junior transfer Sabrina Langerak closed her first tournament for the Cardinals with a round of 80 (+8), while sophomore Madelin Boyd carded an 81 (+9) to end the competition.
"Today was a great day for our program," Andry added. "We went toe to toe with some perennial top-level programs and showed we can compete."
With the solid final-round effort, the Cardinals finished the day shooting 299 (+11) to climb past Mercer in the final team standings. Ball State shot 310 as a team in both rounds Monday.
In fact, Ball State's final round score was better than Rutgers (300), Old Dominion (302), James Madison (307), Charlotte (309) and Mercer (307).
"This was a solid way to start the season and shows us where we are and what we can be as we continue to work every day," Andry concluded.
The Ball State women's golf team returns to action Sept. 18-19 when it hosts the Brittany Kelly Classic at The Players Club at Woodland Trails.
