Despite logging its best round of the tournament, the San Diego State women's golf team jumped just one spot to 12th place in the final standings Tuesday at the Ron Moore Women's Intercollegiate at the par-72, 6,399-yard Highlands Ranch Golf Course. The Aztecs carded a 303 in the final 18 holes to finish the two-day, 54-hole event at 62-over 926. Host school 19th-ranked Denver won the 16-team tournament easily by 18 strokes over second place No. 18 BYU, posting an amazing 15-under 849.
SDSU had been in 12th place after two rounds, but later dropped to 13th to start the day after sophomore Jackie Kazarian's (Dana Point, Calif.) second round score of 2-over 74, a team-best in the first 36 holes, was disqualified due to a discrepancy in her scorecard.
Still, the Aztecs bounced back to notch their best round of the tournament at 15-over 303. Junior Anna Booth (Coffs Harbour, Australia), who earned medalist honors last week, led the way by firing a career low round of 1-over 73, including three birdies and four bogeys. Booth's performance elevated her from 61st place into a tie for 43rd with teammate Heather Wilson (Chula Vista, Calif.), who matched her career-best round with a 3-over 75 to end the event at 15-over 231.
Not far behind the pair was sophomore Alana Erlandson (Palm Desert, Calif.), who was two strokes back at 17-over 233, which was good for 49th place. Senior Jamie Oliver (Los Alamitos, Calif.) rounded out the Aztec top-four finishers at 23-over 239 (t68th), while Kazarian made amends for her scoring mistake on day one with a 4-over 76.
BYU's Rachel Newren claimed the individual title by three strokes with a 10-under 206, including a 67 in the final 18 holes.
