LSU Golfer Tejedo Posts 67 In Final Stanford Round; Finishes -6, T5

BATON ROUGE – LSU freshman Rocio Tejedo made it three-for-three in under par rounds, saving her best for last that resulted in a fifth-place finish in the Stanford Intercollegiate Sunday at the Stanford Golf Course in Stanford, California.

Tejedo had a clean card with four birdies for a 4-under par 67 in the final round and finished in fifth place overall in the competition with rounds of 70-70-67 for a total of 6-under par 137.

Tejedo started on the par 4 fifth hole in the shotgun start and birdied three of the first four holes, adding a birdie on the 503-yard par 5 16th hole.

Tejedo had 11 birdies in the competition and had a great tournament on the par 4 holes, finishing at 4-under par, tied for first in the field.

The Spanish golfer moved into the top 10 on Saturday in the second round after her second 1-under 70 and moved up four spots in the final round on Sunday. Southern California golfers went 1-2 as Jasmine Koo finished first at 11-under par 132 (68-69-65), while Catherine Park was second one shot back at 10-under par 133.

LSU as a team finished in sixth place with rounds of 289-288-288 on the par 71 layout. Host Stanford entered the day with a four-shot lead, but Southern Cal rallied in the final round to shoot 13-under par 271 to tie Stanford for the title at 18-under par 834. LSU’s final total was 13-over 865.

Texas was third at 11-under 841 with Virginia fourth at 3-over par 855 and Arizona State was fifth at 8-over 860.

“Rocio played great,” said LSU Coach Garrett Runion. “Bogey free 67 is very impressive, moving in to the top five in a big field and a strong field. We have a quick turnaround before the East Lake Cup (Oct. 28-30) and look forward to that challenge in Atlanta on the Golf Channel to end the fall season on a high note.”

The Tigers on the final day counted a 1-over 72 from senior Aine Donegan. a 3-over 74 from Elsa Svensson and 4-over 75 from Taylor Riley. Donegan finished T26 at 2-over par 215 (71-72-72).

LSU finished T7 in par 5 scoring at 14-under par and T7 in birdies at 41.
