Two members of the Iowa women’s golf team — Lauren English and Briana Midkiff — tied for fourth at the Pure Silk Women’s Collegiate Team Championship at the Wedgewood Golf and Country Club.
English and Midkiff were one of 42 two-person teams in the three-day tournament. Each team comprised two players from the same school in the stroke-play event and competed in alternate shot (day one), best ball (day two), and combined score (day three).
The two Hawkeyes opened with a 76 on Day One, carded a 67 on Day Two, and combined for a 156 on Day Three. English and Midkiff totaled a 299.
The tournament was presented by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association.
English competed in 10 tournaments as a sophomore in 2012-13. The Bloomington, Ill., native posted a stroke average of 76.40 and recorded four top-10 finishes. She paced Iowa in six events and carded three rounds at or below par.
Midkiff also competed in 10 tournaments last season. The freshman posted a 79.20 stroke average.
