SAN DIEGO - After having no rain in the San Diego area since April, the elements came into play at the 2004 Lady Aztec Invitational, canceling the third and final round Tuesday at the par-72, 6,262-yard (The) Auld Course in Chula Vista. The second round was able to be completed Tuesday morning, as three golfers played their final hole. Baylor came away with the team title, winning by 11 strokes with a 590 (+14), while reigning champion San Diego State dropped from sixth to ninth with a 614 (+38). Fresno State's Laura Luethke, ranked 39th nationally, was the top individual with a two-round score of 140 (-4).
For the Aztecs, freshman Anna Booth (Coffs Harbour, Australia) and senior Veronica Ojeda (San Diego, Calif.) were the top individuals with matching scores of 150 (+6) to tie for 14th overall. Booth carded a SDSU low round of 74 on Monday, followed by a 76, while Ojeda continued her consistent play with two, three-over rounds of 75.
Sophomore Jamie Oliver (Los Alamitos, Calif.) tied for 37th with a 156 (+12), followed by seniors Megan Mulhaupt (Trabuco Canyon, Calif.) and Toni Lutz (Anaheim, Calif.), who came in tied for 45th (158) and 56th place (160), respectively. SDSU individual senior Cameron MacFarland (Issaquah, Wash.) matched Lutz's score to also come in 56th. Freshman Jackie Kazarian (Dana Point, Calif.), meanwhile, was disqualified in the second round after illegally playing out of a environmentally protected area on the course.
The Aztecs were just one stroke in back of eighth place Boise State and easily posted their best performance through 36 holes by 12 strokes this season. Baylor maintained its first round lead beating second place Northern Arizona, which carded a two-round score of 601 (+25).
Luethke was one stroke better than second place Sian Reddick of Baylor (141 (-3)) and five better than third place Brooke Mangan of Alabama-Brimingham (145 (+1)).
SDSU will be back in action Nov. 1-3, as it concludes fall action at the UNLV tournament in Henderson, N.V.
