JUNO BEACH, Fla. – The No. 2 Wake Forest women’s golf team is looking for their third title of the fall season as they begin play at the Jackson T. Stephen’s Cup Monday morning.
The Deacs are coming off a team win at the Mercedes Benz Intercollegiate two weeks ago, their second title in two events so far this fall, with a tournament-record 272 in the final round of play. The Deacs also recorded the second-lowest team score in tournament history with their 21-under-par 831.
Senior Rachel Kuehn’s 64 in the second round is the lowest single-round score for a player in the 25-year history of the event. Kuehn’s 54-hole total of 10-under-par 203 is the second-lowest individual 54-hole score in the history of the event as well. The Asheville native followed up her second-round 64 with a final-round score of 68. She finished in a tie for second place on the individual leaderboard, just one stroke off the winner.
Sophomore Carolina Chacarra finished one stroke behind Kuehn, with a nine-under score of 204. All three of Chacarra’s rounds were sub-70 for the second time in her collegiate career.
Wake Forest led all teams in scoring on par-four and par-five holes and also led the field in total pars for the event, registering 183. The team recorded the third-most birdies, coming in with 51.
