BIG RAPIDS, Mich. -- The Wayne State University women's golf team capped off its first tournament of the 2026-27 season with a fourth-place showing among 10 teams at Ferris State's Bulldog Fall Classic on Tuesday evening. The Warriors carded a 54-hole mark of 945 (+81, 308-318-319), just six strokes higher than McKendree up in the first-place position.
"I was really proud of the team this week, being shorthanded and still having the opportunity to win says a lot about the potential of this group," said head coach
Larry Hamilton. "Ting-Yu played really solid and had an opportunity to win the individual championship."
