FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A fresh look to the lineup provided uplifting results for Colorado State's women's golf team on their home turf.
Â
The Rams closed out their 22nd Wollenberg Ram Classic in a second-place finish with a 306-293-296--895 score. After finishing last season's tournament in sixth place, they attribute this year's success to their younger players coming to the forefront and an improved focus throughout the rounds.
Â
"They stayed patient and we have a really young team. These ladies have done a great job of taking everything we've taught them and learning from it," head coach Laura Cilek said. "Each round I saw them making better decisions and playing with patience, so it was fun to see how they handled this tournament here under a lot of pressure."
Â
In the 54-hole, 6,466-yard tournament, the Rams spent almost all of Tuesday in a tie for second with San Francisco, but due to their ability to remain calm while driving and freshmen taking on a major role, they were able to gain an edge and take second the second-place finish by two strokes.
Â
Swedish freshman Andrea Bergsdottir didn't have much trouble bringing her swing over to CSU. She led the Rams, finished tied for fourth with a 5-over 76-74-70--220. Bergsdottir comes from Gothenburg and isn't having any problems adjusting to this Rams golf team.
Â
"It's different here, but it has been fun," Bergsdottir said. "I love being here with all the girls and playing these new courses with them, so I'm transitioning well."
Â
Freshman Gabby Minier followed behind Bergsdottir for the Rams with a 3-over 76-76-74--226. Her biggest goal coming into the tournament was to remain calm and not take unnecessary risks.
Â
"I didn't want to force anything, because that never ends well," Minier said. "I tried to let the shots come to me as we got toward the middle of the tournament, and as a team we felt really strong coming off of our last tournament."
Â
This Rams team is young, patient and looking to make an impact on this 2019 season. Next week the Rams will head to Waverly Country Club in Portland, Ore., to keep up their success in the Molly Murphy Crowley Collegiate Invitational from Sep. 30 - Oct. 1.
