ROME, Ga. – Erin Donovan continues to impress as she won the Chick-fil-a Invitational individual title by three strokes shooting a two-under 71 on Tuesday to conclude the tournament at three-under. Piedmont shot up the leader board as a team to end in fifth place overall and conclude the fall season.
Donovan was +1 through the first seven holes but made back-to-back birdies on the back nine to hit one-under and birdied 18 before the turn to hit two-under with six holes to go. She managed to hold that lead despite one bogey as she birdied the final hole of the day.
Sarah Fox had an excellent bounce-back day with a 79 as she carded 13 pars in the round to improve by 12 strokes on day two. Keegan Goins also was able to shave strokes off in the second round as she shot an 81 to improve by five strokes. Goins had a pair of birdies as the only other Lion outside of Donovan to card a birdie.
Abigail Evans finished consistent shooting an 83 in both rounds while Marissa Weaver shot a 91 on day two.
Randolph Macon earned the win as a team, holding on to the lead from round one to claim the team title by 30 strokes.
