Maddie Goldberg closed her first collegiate tournament with a 2-over 74 round Sunday
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech freshman Maddie Goldberg closed her first career collegiate tournament with a 2-over-par 74 round Sunday to wrap the Lady Paladin Invitational hosted at the Furman University Golf Club in Greensboro, South Carolina.
Goldberg was the lone Red Raider to participate in the tournament after fellow freshman Destiny Arenas suffered a minor injury during Thursday's practice round. Goldberg finished in a tie for 75th overall at 20-over for the tournament following 10-over and 8-over cards to open the three-day event.
Furman's Haylee Harford claimed the individual title after combining to shoot 9-under over 54 holes. Furman won the team title as well, topping second-place Coastal Carolina by 14 strokes on its home course.
The Red Raiders return to the links as a team in two weeks at the Illini Invitational near Chicago. The two-day tournament begins Oct. 8 from the prestigious Medinah Country Club.
