JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - The Purdue Fort Wayne women's golf team had 13 birdies in the last nine holes to storm back to win the Red Flash Invitational by four strokes on Tuesday (Oct. 8).
This is the third tournament victory for Purdue Fort Wayne in the 2024 calendar year, and the fourth in program history. The Mastodons won The Julie on March 26 and the Indiana State Invitational on April 8.
The Mastodons shot 317-306-623, topping Stonehill and Bucknell which tied for second with scores of 627.
All four of the Mastodons that had their score taken made birdies down the stretch. Hunar Mittal (5), Lillian Gottman (3), Lara Dommach (3) and Olivia Jang (2) each contributed to the furious comeback.
Jang finished in third place at the Red Flash Invitational. She had three pars on the back nine and five more on the front, adding birdies on holes two and six. She finished the tournament with a score of 75-78-153. This is Jang's third top-five finish and fourth top-10 in her career.

The sophomore had three pars on the back and three on the front and birdied holes two, five, six, eight and nine. Mittal turned in a scorecard of 80-74-154 to finish in fifth.

Gottman was the biggest Mastodon mover on Tuesday, moving up 11 spots with her 82-74-156. She finished in 10th, her first top-10 as a Division I student-athlete. Gottman rattled off seven pars on the back nine before making the turn and making four more pars and three birdies. Her birdies came in sequence on five, six and seven.
