Central College’s women’s golf team finished third place out of six teams at its season opening tournament on Sunday.
It was a one-day event at the Mount Mercy Early Bird Classic at Hunter’s Ridge in Marion. The Dutch shot a team score of 350 on the par-72 course.
Junior Molly Timmerman shot an 84 to place fourth overall, and both sophomore Brittany Coppess and junior Cierra Pulse shot 85.
While Coach Tim Wilkinson was disappointed in how his team scored on Sunday, he says it was a course they aren’t familiar with, and they’ll have a chance to bounce back quickly. The Dutch will play in the 36-hole Sail Classic this weekend hosted by Luther College in Cedar Falls.
