Women's Golf Finishes in Second at FAU Winter Warmup
2/18/2019 5:17:00 PM | Women's Golf
BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University women's golf team hosted the FAU Winter Warmup on February 17 and 18 at Osprey Point Golf Club. The Owls finished the two-day tournament in second place behind 37th-ranked Tennessee.
The other participants in the tournament were Brown, Columbia, Oakland, Dartmouth and Detroit Mercy.
QUICK HITS
"I've got to call out Tai Barber. As a senior in her last home tournament, shooting two under-par rounds and finishing in the top-five, getting birdies on her last four holes – just a fantastic finish for Tai. I'm really happy for her to lead by example and to play really well at home. As a team, we had some good wins and we certainly can continue to improve this spring. I'm glad we still have four more events. There was definitely a lot of positives of people improving from the first day to the second day. The other person that stood out today was Rosa, a freshman who shot 2-over today. Sixteen pars and two bogies, so a pretty clean round. A lot of good golf if she can just get some of those putts to drop."

UP NEXT FOR THE OWLS
The Owls will take the course again on March 5 and 6 at the Seminole State Spring Break tournament in Lake Mary, Florida at Timacuan course.
GOLF FORE AFRICA
All this season the Owls will be teaming up with Golf Fore Africa to raise money for clean water in rural Africa. The team's goal is to raise enough money to build a well for a village in Zambia, providing clean water for an entire community.
One well costs $15,000 to build and brings clean water to 300 people for life. Just a $50 donation brings clean water to one person for a lifetime. To date, Golf Fore Africa has built 160 wells and FAU is looking to be the first collegiate program to raise complete funding for a well.
Online contributions can be made here or by contacting Head Coach Aimee Neff (neffa@fau.edu).
