5/11/2022 3:32:00 PM | Women's Golf
Murray State's Payton Carter wrapped her appearance at the NCAA Women's Golf Franklin Regional with a spot in 36th place in a field of 66 competitors Wednesday at the Vanderbilt University at the Legends Club in Franklin, Tennessee.
Â
As the eighth Murray State individual champion in program history in Ohio Valley Conference women's golf, Carter gave a good account of her abilities by producing a score line of 77-71-75=223. The second-round 1-under-par 71 was Carter's sixth round in the 21-22 season of par or better.
Â
In Carter's final round at the Legend's, she started from the first tee after playing from the tenth tee for the first two rounds and was 4-over after six holes, but made the turn with a 3-over-par 39. Her back nine holes featured seven pars with one birdie and bogey for an even par 36.
Â
Carter shared 36th place with Alabama's Isabella Van der Biest, Lauren Walsh of Wake Forest and Kelsey Webster of Oregon State.
