CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – For the second time over three days at the Tar Heel Invitational, Duke's Gurbani Singh carded an under-par round as the junior went on to finish tied sixth overall at the 6,379-yard, par 72 Finley Golf Course in Chapel Hill, N.C. Singh signed for a career-best, four-under-par, 68, Sunday, which included five birdies.
Singh, a native of New Delhi, India, finished the weekend with rounds of 70, 75 and 68 for a 54-hole ledger of three-under-par, 213. The tied sixth placement was her best finish since she finished sixth at the ACC Championship as a freshman.
“I'm real proud of Gurbani, particularly the way she finished with four birdies today,” said Duke head coach Dan Brooks. “Generally, we were off in this event. I'm not sure why. Sometimes it's hard to know the reasons. We'll keep working hard. Progress isn't always measurable in scores.”
In Sunday's final round, Singh opened action on hole nine and quickly went to one-under-par with a birdie on the 187-yard, par three 12th. She suffered a bogey on No. 15 and was even par with four holes remaining. Singh caught fire with four straight birdies to close out the round and finish at four-under-par, 68. She dialed in her irons and drained a five-foot putt on No. 5, 12-footer on No. 6, six-foot birdie on No. 7 and rolled in a 10-foot birdie on the 161-yard, par three 8th hole. For the day, Singh hit a season-best 16 greens, 12 fairways and had 30 putts.
Jennifer Kupcho of Wake Forest turned in rounds of 67, 68 and 66 for a 15-under-par, 201, to claim individual honors.
Sophomore Virginia Elena Carta closed the Tar Heel Invitational with her second consecutive round of 72 on her way to placing tied 22nd overall. Carta, who is from Udine, Italy, started her day on hole 11 and two holes in went to one-under-par with a birdie on the 481-yard, par five 13th. After bogeys on No. 14 and No. 17, Carta got back to even par with a birdie on the second. She had a bogey on No. 4 and birdie on No. 5 to remain at even. She then had her fourth birdie of the day on the 358-yard, par four seventh to get to one-under-par, but had another bogey on No. 9 on her way to finishing with a 72. Carta hit a team-best 17 greens, 13 fairways and had 35 putts in the final round.
Opening her day on No. 10, senior Sandy Choi had bogeys on No. 10 and No. 12, but came back to birdie No. 13 and No. 14 to return to even par. Choi, a product of Seoul, South Korea, had a four four-hole stretch where she had two bogeys and a double-bogey to drop to four-over-par. She finished strong playing her final six holes at one-under-par with a birdie on No. 5. Choi hit 13 fairways, 14 greens and had 35 putts on the day.
