The Murray State women’s golf team placed third at Silver Lakes Golf Course in Gasden, Ala., as Payton Carter won for the first time as a collegiate player
Murray State's Payton Carter brought home a share of the individual title of the Chris Banister Classic hosted by Jacksonville State at the RTJ Silver Lakes Golf Club in Gadsden, Ala.
Carter, a junior from Henderson, Ky., earned her first collegiate championship in her 17th start on rounds of 71-74-69=214 as she shared it with Kanokwan Ngamwong of Elon who carded scores of 73-71-70=214. There was no playoff for the individual title. The win for Carter is the first for the Racers since Raeshya Surendran won the same event in 2019.
Eliza Mae Kho placed eighth on scores of 75-77-74=226, while Ana Picchi gave the Racers three in the top-15 on scores of 75-79-74=228 for a spot in 12th place. Emmie Eriksson came home with a 23rd place showing on rounds of 74-86-80=240. Alma Garcia placed 42nd with scores of 79-79=158. Her final round was disallowed because of a scorecard discrepancy.
The Racers finished third on scores of 295-309-297=901, just behind second place Elon (899) and Jacksonville State (896).
The next challenge for the Racers is the Ozarks National Invitational (Oct. 18-20) in Branson, Missouri. Hosted by Missouri State, the event is played at Ozarks National Golf Club.
