On Oct. 7-9, women’s golf competed in the Westminster Wasatch Invitational in South Jordan, Utah. Leading the Eagles, sophomore Brady Turnquist placed first in the individual leaderboard for the second time this season.

Despite a hailstorm and low temperatures at tee time, the women played an excellent game, placing second overall.

INDIVIDUAL SUCCESS

Turnquist accomplished a career best in her first round and earned first individually, 66-77-146. The second round proved to be a challenge as she failed to shoot below par but she still earned a top spot on the leaderboard.

Closely following Turnquist’s success, freshman Melanie Reyes finished in the Top 5 with a score of 73 in round two. Right behind Reyes, freshman Lauren Lee shot an even 72.

Women’s golf will head to Albuquerque, New Mexico on Oct. 18 to play in the Fort Lewis Fall Invitational. Stats from today’s match are located on the Biola Athletics website.

Natalie Willis is a junior journalism major who loves golden retrievers, Wes Anderson movies and rainy days. Hi! I am from Bakersfield, CA, land of cows and oil rigs. Growing up on a farm with a veterinarian father, I assumed I would follow in his footsteps to pursue a career in agriculture. God had other plans. Reluctantly, I listened but had every intention to switch my major from journalism to pretty much anything else. Half way through my freshman year, I was working on a portfolio project which involved pitching ideas, interviewing sources and telling a story—suddenly, everything clicked into place. I loved what I was doing, who I was meeting and where I thought I could go. God has a way of telling us we are on the right path and I have felt that throughout my college career. Three years ago, if someone told me I would be the editor-in-chief of a student news publication I would have politely advised them to seek counseling. Now, I cannot imagine a life without tight story deadlines and strict adherence to AP style. I am so excited to lead The Chimes this year as we enter into a new era of print media.
