Kayla Davis Wins Cardinal Classic With Playoff Birdie Putt
September 21, 2021 | Women's Golf
YORKTOWN, Ind. – The Bowling Green women's golf team saw Kayla Davis place first at the Cardinal Classic, hosted by Ball State, becoming the first Falcon to claim an Individual Medalist Honor since the 2019-20 season. Davis sunk a 12-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to clinch the victory and cap a score of 220 over the three days to pace the Falcons to a top half finish, being eighth of 16 as a team.
"It was a great day on the course for the Falcons!" said Head Coach Stephanie Young. "Congratulations to Kayla Davis on a fantastic tournament and closing out her first collegiate victory! What an exciting finish to win with a birdie on the first playoff hole. I was pleased to see our improvement each day as well as making a strong move up the board in today's final round. We still have a lot of work to do and look forward to practice this week before heading to Sam Houston State."
Davis utilized scores of 73, 74, 73 to tally the win. The win is the first for a Falcon since Jessica Madry placed first at the Shirley Spork Invitational in October of 2019. Erin Fahey also took first at the KZoo Classic in October of 2017, leading Bowling Green to a tournament win. With the win for Davis, the Falcons have now had a tournament winner during the fall season in three of the last five years. The scores of 73 in the first and third rounds set a new career-low score for Davis as well. The win also marked the first collegiate victory for Davis and helped the Falcons jump four spots in the team standings.
For team results, the Falcons finished in the middle of the pack, jumping four spots on the second day of competition. Bowling Green ended just a stroke behind Purdue Fort Wayne while finishing ahead of Western Michigan by two strokes, Dayton by three strokes and Oakland by five strokes.
