BIRMINGHAM, Mich. – Senior Saranlak Tumfong registered her second-straight third-place showing for the Toledo women's golf team on Tuesday by finishing at four-over par 148 at the Chippewa Invitational. The tournament was the Rockets' final event of the fall and was played at the par-72, 5,966-yard Birmingham Country Club.

Tumfong entered the final round tied for first place, but she wasn't able to sink any birdie putts. She bogeyed her first hole before posting nine consecutive pars. Tumfong, who registered a tournament-best 27 pars, then recorded a double-bogey and bogey on the next two holes before collecting pars on the remaining six holes.

Senior Thunpijja Sukkasem also registered a Top-10 finish for Toledo by tying for 10^th place at 12-over par 156. Freshman Amelia Lee notched her best showing of the fall, tying for 18^th place at 15-over par 159.

Rounding out the Rocket lineup were freshman Claudia Sampson (168/T-50^th) and senior Donchanok Toburint (168/T-50^th). Freshman Kathryn Roth competed as an individual and finished in 76^th place at 181.

Toledo tied for fourth place in the team standings, 16 strokes behind first-place Western Michigan.

"The conditions today were very challenging with wind that our freshman haven't ever experienced before," Head Coach Jenny Coluccio said. "It was quite difficult to control the ball. Everyone had great attitudes and determination to embrace what we were given today. A big learning day and one of our best mentally tough days as a whole team. We had hoped to close it out a bit stronger with scores but the process was right there. This entire fall has been filled with learning and improvement. We hoped for the scores to show it, and it's so very close to happening. This off-season will be a great time to really make strides in different ways individually to have it come together as a whole in the spring."

Toledo begins its spring season with a pair of tournaments in Florida. The Rockets will compete in South Florida's Old Friends Invitational on Feb. 17-18 followed by the Florida State Match-Up on Feb. 29-Mar. 1.
