NEW LONDON, N.C. (Sept. 15) – After review of United States Golf Association (USGA) rule 33-2B1 that affected all teams at the Pfeiffer (N.C.) Invitational, the California University of Pennsylvania women’s golf team now finished third at the 14-team invitational with a 53-over 629 (324-305).
The second round was previously eliminated due to a rules infraction involved teams playing different tees on multiple holes at the par-72, 5,922-yard Old North State Club. However, since the three sets of tees that were moved after the final round had begun and since the final round scores didn't provide a distinct and significant advantage or disadvantage, the second sound scores are now counted.
With the score now reflecting both rounds, the Vulcans finished in third place and only seven strokes behind Carson-Newman (Tenn.) for the invitational title. The Eagles, who shot a 46-over 622 (315-307), won the event by three strokes over Catawba (N.C.) - 49-over 625 (310-315).
