NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. (September 10, 2024) – Sophomore Alice Johansson fired her second straight round of 68 to win the Bettie Lou Evans Invitational hosted by Kentucky Tuesday.
Johansson tallied eight birdies to post the best round among the 69-player field for the seconds straight day and held off TCU’s Kirstin Angosta by one stroke to record her first career win and first individual title for the Cougars since 2020. Amy Chu and Marie Lund-Hansen shared the Meadow Club Invitational in California in 2020.
Johansson shot a four-over 76 in Sunday’s opening round before posting back-to-back four-under 68’s to earn the win after entering Tuesday’s final round tied for third.
As a team WSU moved up two spots to finish in sixth place while Sarah Skovgaard Bils shot an even-round 72 to finish tied for 10th and Madelyn Gamble carded a two-over 74 to finish tied for 18th. Sara Pineros improved her score all three rounds capped by a round of 79 Tuesday while freshman Grace Rubelsky recorded a pair of birdies in the final round of her first collegiate tournament.
The three-round 2024 Bettie Lou Evans Invitational was hosted by the University of Kentucky at Champion Trace at Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Ky. and plays as a par-72 at 6,261 yards.
