Final Results
PEORIA, Ariz. - The 15th ranked Illinois women's golf team wrapped up its first tournament of the spring season on Monday, placing ninth at the Westbrook Spring Invitational with a three-day total of 859 (-5). The Orange and Blue carded rounds of 286-283-290 at the Westbrook Golf Club Vistas Course (Par 72, 6,269 yards) in Peoria, Arizona.
"It was not the strong finish we were looking for," head coach Renee Slone said. "Our par 3 play was strong throughout the tournament but we did not convert the opportunities we gave ourselves. We will use this week to dial in a few things and get ready for a great tournament in California."
