CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The top-ranked Demon Deacons completed tournament play in ninth place at the Ruth’s Chris Tar Heel Invitational at Finley G.C. in Chapel Hill, N.C.

At three over par, graduate student Morgan Ketchum grabbed her second top 10 finish of the season and notched 10 total birdies, the fifth most of the competition.
