Moore Wins In Five Playoff Holes; BGSU Ties Record, Wins Dolores Black Falcon Invite
April 10, 2022 | Women's Golf
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University women's golf team shot an even team score of 288 on Sunday (April 10) to capture the Dolores Black Falcon Invitational title. The Falcons were paced by freshman MacKenzie Moore who tied for first, winning the individual championship after five playoff holes. Moore is the first Falcon to win the Dolores Black Falcon Invitational since Lily Bartell in 2014. This is the first time BGSU has won the event under this name. They previously won the Falcon Invitational in 2008.
As a team, Bowling Green posted a score of 595 over the 36 holes played, the third-best score in program history for a two-round event. The score of 288 on Sunday ties the program record for the best team score on 18 holes, matching the score from the Great Smokies Intercollegiate during the 2013-14 season.
Winning the individual crown, MacKenzie Moore is the second Falcon to win an event this season, joining Kayla Davis who won at the Cardinal Classic in the fall. Moore had to endure five playoff holes, but clinched the win on the eighth hole at Stone Ridge Golf Club, a par three. Moore had an incredible drive that set up her winning putt.
Moore wasn't the only Falcon to have a strong day. Davis posted the best round of the field for the second day, shooting a 70. Moore and Davis were the only two players in the field to shoot below par on Sunday. Nichole Cox wasn't far behind being +1 for the day.
Quotes From The Course: Coach Erin Fahey
"We played fantastic today and that's all 11. Yesterday we had some weather to deal with, but we've been practicing in that and they handled it well. To come out here and shoot even par, which ties our lowest, is pretty awesome and special to do it in front of the home crowd. Really proud of them."
Quotes From The Course: MacKenzie Moore
"Doing that at home was amazing. We have a home crowd here, my parents flew in from Texas to be here. Everyone in orange out here is supporting us, we have Dolores [Black] out here as well, which is awesome. The five [playoff] holes was definitely a lot, it was a grind. But to get my first collegiate win here at Stone Ridge, our home course and college is amazing, it feels great!"
