Individual Final Results
KAPOLEI, Hawaii--Tulsa shot a final day 300 to break away from the pack and capture the 2003 Women's Golf WAC Championships at the Kapolei Golf Course. The Golden Hurricane finished with a three-day total of 914 to give them a nine-stroke victory over second-place Nevada.
It was a record-setting win for the Golden Hurricane who picked up their fifth straight WAC title. The previous record for consecutive titles was held by New Mexico (1993-96). After holding just a one-stroke advantage over Nevada and San Jose State through the first two rounds, nationally-ranked Tulsa took control with three players finishing in the top ten, including a brilliant performance by Julie Tvede.
Tvede's two-under-par 70 in the final round helped lift the Golden Hurricane to the championship and gave her the individual title in convincing fashion. The Tulsa junior, who led by one stroke after the first two rounds, totaled 218 for the tournament to win by nine strokes over Ashley Gomes (227) of San Jose State. Tai Kinney of San Jose State and Marie Beasley of Boise State finished in a tie for third place with a total of 228.
Boise State finished in fourth place with a total of 947, followed by UTEP (958), host Hawaii (975), and SMU (979). Junior Rene Krause was the top performer for the Rainbow Wahine, finishing in 21st with a total of 241.
All-conference selections were also announced following the conclusion of the tournament with Alana Condon (Nevada) winning player of the year honors, Christine Fernandez (Tulsa) named freshman of the year and Holley Hair (Tulsa) taking home coach of the year honors.
