Stiff winds sent scores soaring Sunday but the Central College women’s golf team hung on to fourth place at the Luther Classic at Fox Ridge Golf Course in Dike. Freshman Mackenzie Biggs, who carded a personal-best 75 Saturday to take the first-round medalist lead, slipped to 85 Sunday for 160 and a third-place finish in an impressive collegiate debut.
After shooting 329 Saturday in ideal conditions, Central mustered 351 Sunday to close at 680 at the par-72 Fox Ridge Golf Course. The University of Dubuque prevailed in the seven-team tourney at 316-327—643 with Wartburg College second at 320-345—665 followed by Luther College at 326-343—669.
