BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Senior
Macy Hanus set a school record and tied for second place to lead the Toledo women's golf team in Sunday's final round at Bowling Green's Dolores Black Falcon Invitational. Hanus finished at two-under par-142 at the par-72, 5,911-yard Stone Ridge Golf Club, one shot better than Pinyada Kuvanun for the lowest 36-hole total ever in program history.
A Bowling Green native, Hanus led the Rockets with six birdies and finished a tournament-best four-under par on par-three holes.
"Playing at my home course definitely helped me stay calm and feel very comfortable this week," said Hanus after registering the best finish of her Rocket career. "I had a lot of support from family and friends and that always makes it fun. I made some early birdies and never really found myself in trouble and that helped a lot with my momentum and confidence through both rounds."
