Bama Beach Bash | Final Results
 
GULF SHORES, Ala. – After shooting a 29-over-par 317 in the second round, the ULM women's golf team shaved 16 strokes off that total, firing a 13-over 301 in the third round to finish fourth at 52-over par 916 in the 17-team field at the Bama Beach Bash, played at the par-72, 6,002-yard Gulf Shores Golf Club. Three Warhawks placed among the Top 25 in the 99-player field.
 
Originally scheduled as a three-day tournament, the final 36 holes were played on Monday, March 21 with the potential for severe thunderstorms in the forecast for Tuesday.
 
ULM joined two other Sun Belt Conference teams that placed among the top four teams on the leaderboard at the Bama Beach Bash, with tournament-host South Alabama claiming the title at 30-over-par 894 (295-303-296), followed by Texas State at 37-over 901 (293-305-303) and Dartmouth at 40-over 904 (300-304-300).
 
"This was a really good showing for us this week," ULM women's golf coach Rachel Pollock said. "The elements proved to be a challenge, but one that we faced well.
 
"We're looking to make some small changes and improvements going into Georgia State Invitational and Sun Belt Conference Championships."
 
The Warhawks' top finisher was Alessia Mengoni, who recorded her second consecutive Top 10 performance of the spring and fourth of the 2021-22 season, with a 9-over-par 225. Mengoni fell 22 places on the individual leaderboard after scoring a 10-over 82 in the second round, including 10 pars. She rebounded to climb 19 spots into a tie for eighth in the final standings after firing a 2-under 70 to finish at 9-over 225. Mengoni tallied five birdies (14th, 15th, 18th, first and eighth holes) and 10 pars in the third round. Her 70 matched her season-low round and her 54-hole totals included eight birdies and 32 pars.
 
"Alessia had a great comeback in the final round in some really difficult conditions to post the lowest individual round in the third round," Pollock said.
 
Chantal Dueringer delivered her fifth Top 20 finish of the season, placing 15th at 12-over 228 after carding a 4-over-76 in the second round and a 5-over 77 in the third round. Dueringer registered one birdie (13th hole) and 12 pars in the second round and followed with birdie on the ninth hole and 11 pars in the final round. She finished the tournament with a team-best 34 pars to go along with four birdies.
 
Charlotte Fourdraine finished in a seven-way tie for 25th at 15-over-par 231. It marked Fourdraine's second-straight Top 25 performance and third of the season. She shot a 7-over 79 in the second round, including one birdie at No. 18 and 10 pars. Fourdraine followed with a 5-over 77 in the third round with two birdies (14th and 16th) and nine pars. Her 54-hole totals featured six birdies and 28 pars.
 
Line Petersen completed the tournament in a three-way tie for 47th at 20-over par 236. Peterson shot a 9-over 81 in the second round with one birdie at No. 11 to go along with nine pars. She followed with her lowest round of the tournament, carding a 5-over 77 over the final 18 holes. An eagle on the 492-yard third hole highlighted Petersen's third round, which also featured two birdies (first and ninth holes) and nine pars. Her tournament scorecard included an eagle, four birdies and 29 pars.
 
Jahaanvie Walia finished in a four-way tie for 70th at 27-over 243 after shooting a 9-over 81 in the second round followed by a 15-over 87 in the final round. Walia's 54-hole totals included four birdies and 29 pars.
