Day Three Recap

 

The course finally gave some to the field. Until Saturday the best round recorded was a one-over 73 by a few golfers. Saturday there were three under par rounds and one par scorecard turned in.   

 

Trevecca director of golf David Head commented, "We are proud of Alexa and what she has meant to the program. She has continued and built on the tradition created by the coaches and golfers before her. She had carved out a new level for future Trojans to reach for. She represented Trevecca, our team, the G-MAC, and Middle Tennessee well this week and throughout her career."

 

Rippy is one of two golfers in the field to record an eagle all week.
