WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- For the third time in the Wildcats' last four tournaments, freshman Alice Kim (Los Angeles, Calif./Brentwood) has posted a top-four finish, this time placing a career-best second at Purdue's Lady Boilermaker Spring Invitational.
Her second-place score helped the 41st-ranked 'Cats (315-306-310=931) vault to a third-place finish behind Michigan State (+54, 918) and Indiana (+58, 922). NU finished in front of the other six Big Ten teams entered in the tournament, as well as Notre Dame, Kent State and Jacksonville State. (Ohio State and Penn State were the only two Big Ten teams not entered in this weekend's tournament.)
Kim's 3-over 75 was Sunday's best individual round. She finished with an 8-over 224 (74-75-75), three strokes back of Indiana's Danah Ford, who shot an 82 on Sunday. The teams battled difficult conditions throughout the day, with winds gusting over 25 miles per hour.
Junior Ina Kim (Encino, Calif./Harvard-Westlake) also turned in one of Sunday's best rounds with a 4-over 76. She finished 24th overall at 20-over (80-80-76=236). Freshman Heather Scholten (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grand Rapids Christian) turned in the top finish of her young career, placing 14th after shooting a 7-over 79 on Sunday. Scholten carded a 17-over 233 (81-73-79).
Freshman Kelly Robb (Concord, Mass./Middlesex School) and senior Lauren Grzebien (Saunderstown, R.I./Narragansett) both fired 8-over 80s for the third round and finished tied for 31st place at 27-over. Robb had rounds of 85, 78 and 80 (243) while Grzebien posted scores of 82, 81 and 80. Grzebien's younger sister, Mary Ellen Grzebien, placed 43rd with a 32-over 248 ( 80-82-86).
Next up for the Wildcats are the Big Ten Championships, which begin Friday in Columbus, Ohio on OSU's campus.
