Stephanie Sherlock shot an even-par 72 in a rainy final round at Highlands Ranch Golf Club as the University of Denver golfer finished a two-round rally to win the Ron Moore Intercollegiate on Wednesday.
Sherlock carded a 1-under-par 215 to earn medalist honors, edging Cal-Davis’ Alice Kim by one stroke. Sherlock on Tuesday shot a 3-under 69 to jump into a tie with Baylor’s Hannah Burke atop the leaderboard. Burke finished third at 218. DU’s Kimberly Kim was four shots back in fourth place.
The Pioneers, ranked fifth nationally, won the team title, 14 shots ahead of Cal-Davis. It was DU’s sixth consecutive victory at the Ron Moore. Wyoming was eighth; Northern Colorado ended in 12th.
