LAS VEGAS – Entering the final round of The Show in sixth place, Purdue Women's Golf fired a 2-over 290 to move up the leaderboard and finish tied for fourth alongside No. 23 Pepperdine at 12-over.
The Boilermakers made a combined 21 birdies during the final round, averaging more than four per golfer and nearly doubling their total for the entire tournament. Purdue's 46 birdies over three rounds ranked second in the field.
Ashley Kozlowski led the Boilermakers, tying for seventh for her second Top 10 finish of the season. The senior made 13 birdies throughout the tournament, ranking second in the 77-player field and ending the tournament 2-under par following a final round 71 (-1). Kozlowski dominated the par 4s, playing those holes 4-under to lead the field. Her final round featured five birdies, including four of the 10 par 4s.
Momo Sugiyama added another Top 20 to her Purdue resume, ending The Show 1-over par to tie for 13th. She made four birdies throughout the final round, playing the last 10 holes 3-under. Sugiyama earned her fifth Top 20 performance of the 2023-24 season, and she cracked the Top 20 for the third straight tournament.
Jocelyn Bruch and Jade Gu contributed to the team's final round tally with rounds of 73 (+1) and 74 (+2), respectively. Bruch played her last eight holes bogey free, making one birdie along the way to post her best round of the tournament. Gu's round featured three straight birdies to begin the front nine, going 4-under through a seven-hole stretch.
Up next, Purdue will compete in the Briar's Creek Invitational on the coast of South Carolina (March 11-12). Closing out a busy month, the Boilermakers will return to The Bruzzy Challenge at Dornick Hills Country Club in Oklahoma (March 30-31).
