NAPA, Calif. — The University of Colorado women’s golf team finished in 17th place at the 2023 Chevron Silverado Showdown with a 54-hole score of 68-over-par, 932, at the Silverado Resort & Spa on Wednesday.
Colorado shot 23-over, 311, on the final day; five strokes better than Tuesday’s second round, but it wasn’t enough to escape the bottom of the team standings as the Buffaloes moved down one spot. Washington State finished one stroke ahead of the Buffaloes despite having the round’s highest score of the day at 29-over.
No. 16 ranked Northwestern held off No. 13 Texas A&M for the team title at 9-over, 873. The Wildcats were 13-over on Wednesday after a pair of under-par rounds to begin the tournament, but still defeated the Aggies (880) by seven strokes. No. 30 UCLA was third at 18-over, 882.
UCLA’s Zoe Campos won the individual title by three strokes at 5-under, 211 after shooting a 71 in the final round. With the win, Campos receives an exemption into the LPGA Chevron Championship, April 19-23 in The Woodlands, Texas.
Sophomore Natalie Vo was Colorado’s top overall golfer at the Silverado Showdown, tying for 24th place at 8-over, 224, leading the Buffaloes for the second-straight tournament. She had her highest of the three rounds on Wednesday, shooting 5-over, 77.
Vo had a good start to the day at 1-under through four holes after a birdie at the 381-yard, par 4, No. 1. She finished the front nine at 2-over, and stayed there through 15, where she was knocking on the door of a top 10 finish, but had to settle for bogey on each of her final three holes.
Freshman Morgan Miller rebounded from a tough second round to have Colorado’s top mark of the day among the five team scorers. She shot 4-over, 76, seven strokes better than her total on Tuesday.
Miller was 2-over through 11 before ending her round on a bit of a roller coaster. Miller dropped to 4-over with back-to-back bogeys at No. 9 and No. 10 before immediately gaining those strokes back with consecutive birdies at the 138-yard, par 3, No. 11 and the 363-yard, par 4, No. 12. Unfortunately, she made double-bogey on the 340-yard, par 4, No. 13 to drop back to 4-over for the day and finished tied for 53rd overall at 15-over, 231.
