Cougars Match Program Record With 8-Under Second Round in Las Vegas


BOULDER CITY, Nev. (October 21, 2024) – Washington State Women’s Golf saw three players fire rounds under par and the team matched the program record for single round score of eight-under (280) in the second round of the Clash at Boulder Creek in Nevada Monday afternoon.
 
WSU tied the program record set in the third round of the 2007 UNLV Spring Rebel Invite, at the same course in Boulder Creek. Madelyn Gamble fired a round of 69 after recording four birdies to sit tied for 10th, freshman Grace Rubelsky carded a season-best 69 with six birdies and senior Sarah Skovgaard Bils tallied five birdies for a round of 70. Sophomore Alice Johansson posted an even-par 72 and sits tied for 19th at two-under.
 
“We played great against today and have ourselves in a good position heading into tomorrow’s final round,” head coach Kevin Tucker said. “We showed a lot of maturity today with our decision making and finished strong with three birdies in our last two holes.
 
“Maddie (Gamble) has found her groove again and it was a lot of fun to watch Grace shoot the first under-par round of her college career.”
