The Cougars improved by 17 strokes in the final round of play.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Washington State University women's golf team placed 14th after improving by 17 strokes in the final round and finishing 26-over par (890) at the 2016 Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational, Tuesday, at the Championship Golf Course.

In the team's first event of the fall season, WSU competed against four other Pac-12 schools, including second-place Arizona State (-11, 853), fifth-place Arizona (-3, 861), seventh-place Colorado (E, 864), and ninth-place California (+6, 870). 

The Cougars finished 53 strokes behind first-place winner Oklahoma State (-20, 844). Arizona (10th), Arizona State (11th), California (16th), and Oklahoma State (ninth) all finished the 2016 season ranked in the top 25. 

"I'm really excited about our start to the season," WSU head coach Kelli Kamimura said. "We were in a really competitive field this week, and it was a real testament to their work ethic to improve by 17 strokes in the final round. It's an exciting way to start the year."

Sophomore Madison Odiorne led the Cougars with five birdies in the final round, tying for 30th at 2-over par through three rounds. 

Junior Bree Wanderscheid shot 3-over par and finished with a final score of 219, tying for 37th. Fellow junior Alivia Brown tied for 55th with a total score of 223 (+7). 

Senior Cherokee Kim, who shot 4-over par in the final round, finished the tournament tied for 78th with a three-round score of 230 (+14).

In her debut for the Cougars, freshman Elodie Bridenne ended the tournament in 93rd place, with a final score of 261.

"I was really impressed with the play of the entire team this week," Kamimura said. "They've been working hard, and to have players come out and utilize their skills was great to see." 

The women's golf team returns to Pullman to host the WSU Cougar Cup at the Palouse Ridge Golf Club, Sept. 19-20.
