Freshman Newren Has Career Tourney, Cougars Finish Fourth

ST. GEORGE -- In its final regular season tournament, the BYU women's golf team rode the career performance of true freshman Natalie Newren, to finish fourth after a nine-over 297, in the final round of the BYU Dixie Classic.
"Natalie was steady for us throughout the tournament," head coach Sue Nyhus said. "That's probably the best tournament she has put together. It's great to see her coming in and doing so well for us."
Newren, playing in her eighth collegiate tournament, was the most consistent Cougar throughout the competition, and she finished strong by carding an even-par 72 to finish with a three round three-over-par effort to finish in a tie for eighth. Newren's eighth place finish set a career mark as did her three round total of 224, trumping previous bests of a 19th and 226.
"Except for missing a few putts I think everything was going well for me out there today," Newren said. "It's a full day of work out there and I just tried to stay mentally tough."
UC Irvine, in its first year of play, clinched its first-ever team title with a 35-over 899 to win the tournament by nine strokes over second place Idaho and 10 strokes over defending champion San Francisco. The Anteaters also claimed the individual title, as the duo of Walailak Satarak and Stella Lee tied for first. Both players carded even-par 72s in the final round, and finished two-under 214 for the tournament. After struggling in the second round with a 12-over 84, senior All-American Carrie Summerhays rebounded with a final round 74 to finish in a tie for 19th, to record her highest finish of the spring season. Summerhays caught fire on the back nine with two birdies to finish the tournament.

"I saw Carrie play her game of golf the final nine holes today," Nyhus said. "It meant a lot to see her finish the tournament so well."
The three remaining Cougar regulars also shot rounds in the 70s, as BYU overcame a lackluster second round 31-over 319, to shoot a final round best nine-over 297.
Newren's sister, sophomore Nicole Newren, shot rounds of six-over 78 in the second and third rounds to finish in a tie for 26th. Seniors Adrianne Olson and Lisa Dernick-Hardy overcame second round scores of 81 and 82, to shoot 77 and 74 on Tuesday.
"Nicole is showing a lot of improvement and even though she may not be real pleased with how she scored, her game is progressing quickly," Nyhus said.
For the second consecutive tournament BYU has defeated MWC opponents Colorado State, Wyoming and San Diego State.
"I'm seeing a lot of good things on the course," Nyhus said. "In terms of preparation for post-season play we are definitely heading in the right direction. The final result wasn't necessarily as important as how it prepared us for the Mountain West Conference Tournament in two weeks.
The Cougars will have just under two weeks to prepare before heading to the MWC Championships in Sunriver, Ore., April 22-24.
