No. 35 Patricie Mackova Ties for First at the Lady Buckeye Championship, No. 33 Maryland With Top-5 Performance


COLUMBUS, OH – The No. 33-ranked Maryland women’s golf team posted three over par as a team at the Lady Buckeye Invitational this weekend, finishing in fourth place out of 13 teams competing. No. 35-ranked junior Patricie Mackova led the charge, finishing in a two-way tie for first after posting a score of 208 (66-69-73), eight strokes under par. This marks her seventh top-10 finish of the 2022-23 season. 

Mackova shares co-medalist honors with Monet Chun of Michigan. Chun won the event overall based on having the lower final round of the day out of the two players.

Senior Angela Garvin posted 220 (70-73-77), which was four over par to finish in a tie for 20th.

Freshman Nicha Kanpai ranked 69th nationally, also posted a score of 220 (77-73-70), to tie Garvin.

Sophomore Panassaya Somchit finished in a four-way tie for 33rd, posting a score of  223 (77-70-76) (+7).
