KINGSTON, N.Y. - Emily Gottman of the Purdue Fort Wayne women's golf team picked up the highest finish of her Mastodon career on Tuesday (Sept. 29) with a runner-up nod at Stonehill's Hill YEAH! event.
The sophomore Gottman shot 70 in the final round of play, her first round below par in her collegiate career. She had four birdies, two bogeys and 12 pars for her 2-under effort. Starting on hole two, she moved under par just three holes into her day with a birdie on hole four. She bogeyed eight and nine, but more than made up for it with a bogey-free 33 on the back nine. She birdied holes 12, 13 and 18. Gottman's two-round total of 144 is the second-best in program history for a 36-hole mark.
Hunar Mittal also finished in the top-10 for the 10th time in her career, good for the program record for top-10s in a Mastodon career. She shot 73-76-149 and took 10th place in the 52-player field. Mittal started with a birdie on hole one, finishing the front nine even. She added birdies on holes three and six. After an uneven start to the back nine, Mittal ended on a high note with birdies on holes 17 and 18 to take 10th.
Lillian Gottman improved 17 spots on the leaderboard thanks to a second round of 73. She was 2-under on the back nine thanks to birdies on holes 11, 13 and 18. She finished in 18th place with her 81-73-154.
Louise Ekesall wrapped up in 25th place with a 76-80-156. Her day was highlighted by a birdie on hole five and a stretch of nine pars in a row from hole 11 to one. Lillie Cone was two shots back in 35th place with a 78-80-158. She had a birdie on hole 13 that helped her shoot 1-over on the back nine on Tuesday.
Amaya Wade played as an individual, shooting 87-79-166 for 47th place. She had a birdie on hole 12.
As a team, the Mastodons took third in the nine-team field with a score of 600. That is tied for the sixth-best 36-hole score in Mastodon history. Merrimack won the event with a two-day total of 290.
The Mastodons are back in action on October 12 at the Evann Parker Memorial in North East, Pa.
