HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. - Northern Kentucky University women’s golfer Kim Keyer-Scott shot a 7-over-par 80 in the final round of the NCAA Division II national championships on Saturday, and she completed the four-day tournament by taking fifth place in the individual competition with a total of 310 (+18).
Keyer-Scott, a sophomore and a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, actually led after two rounds of the NCAA Division II national championships by shooting 74-77 during the first two days at the par-73 El Campeon Golf Course. She completed the event with scores of 79-80 the past two days and settled for fifth place nationally - the best individual finish in the history of NKU women’s golf.
Charlotte Campbell of Rollins College fired a 2-under-par 71 Saturday and captured the medal with a four-round total of 299 (+7). Her four-round total of 299 (78-74-76-71) also established an NCAA Division II record for the lowest total by the individual champion.
