We loved returning to the tournament and competing at an extremely high level.
“Our team led the field in par’s at the completion of the tournament and once again dominated in the par-3 scoring averages. Congratulations to Bridget Wilkie on a top-15 finish in a highly ranked individual field. She felt right at home on the southern soil.

Love thee Notre Dame,” Bellville concluded.
