Driscoll Leads Women’s Golf at EKU Colonel Classic
April 01, 2024 | Women's Golf
RICHMOND, Kentucky - - Sophomore Jasmine Driscoll turned in a pair of +3 (75) rounds on Monday to lead the Ball State women's golf team at the weather-shortened EKU Colonel Classic played at the Gibson Bay Golf Course. Tuesday's final round was canceled as weather moved in just three holes in, reverting results to 36-hole totals.
"Jasmine played some very solid golf in both rounds today," head coach Cameron Andry said. "She hit a number of quality shots and managed her game really well."
Shooting right at her season average, Driscoll is currently tied for ninth among the 90-golfer field at +6 (150) and is just six strokes behind tournament leader MacKenzie Neal who is E (144) after the first 36 holes on the 6108-yard, 72-par course.
Driscoll was steady throughout the day, tying for the tournament lead with 26 pars. She also added a birdie in each round while not shooting worse than a bogey in any of her holes.
Following a solid performance at the Puerto Rico Classic, sophomore Madelin Boyd is second on the squad and tied for 21st overall at +8 (152). She tied Driscoll for Ball State's lowest round of the event, adding a +3 (75) of her own in her second tour of the course, while carding three total bridies.
Led by Driscoll and Boyd, the Cardinals are currently tied for seventh among the 15-team field with a score of +38 (614). Morehead State leads the event at +16 (592), while the Cardinals are just 14 strokes out of second which is currently held by Bradley at +24 (600).
"We battled today," Andry added. "The greens were very firm, so some shots required a little guesswork. Overall, thought we handled things well."
Ball State's other three golfers, junior Sabrina Langerak, sophomore Sarah Gallagher and freshman JJ Gregston, are currently tied for 53rd at +14 (158). Gregston is tied for the team lead with three birdies, while Gallagher has two and Langerak tallied one.
Playing as an individual, freshman Jenna Estravillo is currently tied for 83rd at +22 (166), collecting a birdie of her own on the par-5, 485-yard 14th.
The Ball State women's golf team returns to action April 13-14 at the IUPUI Jaguar Classic hosted at the Plum Creek Golf Club in Carmel, Indiana.
