AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Yale women's golf team wrapped up competition at the Valspar Augusta Invitational, held at Forest Hills Golf Club and hosted by Augusta University. Originally scheduled as a two-day, three-round event, the tournament was cut short after inclement weather forced the cancellation of Sunday's final round.
After 36 holes, Georgia Southern claimed the tournament title with a 6-over-par 582 (290-292). The Bulldogs finished seventh with a score of 607 (306-301) in a competitive 13-team field.
