Langerak, Lim Top Field at Myrtle Beach

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – The No. 12 Taylor women's golf team opened its spring season with three rounds of competition over two days at the Showdown at Legends in Myrtle Beach on February 27 and 28.

TU took the top-two spots on the individual leaderboard with Sabrina Langerak and Shayne Lim finishing first and second at plus-10 and plus-11 over the 72 holes.

Langerak did her damage by leading the field at plus-three on par-fours and topping the pack with 37 pars. Langerak fired the best round of the event in the opener, carding a 71 over the first 18 holes and never looking back to take her second win of the season.

Lim kept pace by shooting a tourney-best one-under on par-fives, recording 32 pars and six birdies. Lim surged over the final 18 holes of work, shooting a 72 in the final round for the second-best round of the event.

Margarita Garrido and Elizabeth Kemper also posted top-20 scores for Taylor, with Garrido taking 14th after closing with back-to-back scores of 79. Kemper took 19th, highlighted by a 79 in round two.

As a team, Taylor led the eight-team field by five strokes on par-fours but struggled on par-fives compared to No. 24 Northwestern Ohio and No. 9 Cumberlands. TU finished behind those two foes in the team standings, ending at 949 to trail UNOH by five and Cumberlands by two, but edging No. 17 Lindsey-Wilson by eight.

No. 12 TU will return to action on March 31 at the Purgatory Intercollegiate in Noblesville, Indiana.
