Missouri women's golf, this week led by junior Melanie Walker, finished second overall as a team in their most recent tournament at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational. They finished with a group score of 7-over-par, with the Kansas Jayhawks way ahead in first with a six-under-par final score.

Walker was the highest finishing Tiger with a score of three-under-par, tied with three other competitors and sitting two shots back of first place finisher, Kent State Eagle Veronika Kendronova.

The Tigers had two other finishers in the top ten, with Jade Zamora finishing in a tie for seventh place with a one-under score and Addie Dobson two shots back in the solo tenth-place spot. Ffion Tynan, who'd been leading the team recently, finished in a tie for the No. 11 spot with a two-over par score. This was a fall of from her recent production.
