SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - After battling difficult weather conditions over three rounds, CSUN Women's Golf posted a final round 324 to slip from sixth to an eighth-place finish Tuesday at the 2022 Big West Women's Golf Championship at San Luis Obispo Country Club.
The Matadors, who were sixth following both the first and second rounds, were passed by both UC Davis and UC Irvine in the final round. At (+56) 956, CSUN finished just four shots behind the Aggies and Anteaters who tied for sixth at 952.
Cal Poly carded a final round 303 to catch Hawai'i which led from the opening round as the Mustangs and Rainbow Wahine were Big West Co-Champions at 903. After winning the team playoff with an aggregate score of 14-18, Cal Poly earned the conference's automatic bid to the 2022 NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship.Â
Cal Poly's Kaylyn Noh earned individual medalist honors after finishing the championship at even-par 216. Noh, Kate Villegas (UCR), Caroline Cantlay (CP), Tiffany Le (UCR), and Hyeonji Kang (UH) were the top-five individual finishers to earn Big West All-Tournament team accolades.
Julia Johansson finished as the low Matador player for the second straight conference championship as she tied for 22nd at (+20) 236 with rounds of 83-75-78. Julia Myklebust and Fernanda Sosa also finished in the top-30 as Myklebust tied for 28th at (+23) 239 with rounds of 77-80-82 and Sosa tied for 29th at (+25) 241 after posting scores of 76-84-81.

COACH MICHELLE WINKLER SAID
"The wind got us again today. We just could not hit as many greens as we needed to and trying to press every single hole put way too much pressure on us. But luckily we're walking away from this conference knowing we have so much ahead of us. This entire season has been a whirlwind mentally and emotionally and getting a new coach mid-season can be a tough thing to deal with. But this team has proven to be a mature, intelligent, and resilient group of young women. I am proud of each and every single one of them!"
