Tornado Women Close Golf Season in Cherokee Valley Invitational

BREVARD, N.C. – Seniors Kelsie Rhyne and Courtney Sharp put the finishing touches on their collegiate golf careers this week when they head to the Palmetto state to take part in the Cherokee Valley Women's Invitational at the Cherokee Valley Country Club in Tigerville, S.C.

It is the fifth tournament of the spring for the Brevard women's golf team, which began at the Converse Spring Invite on Feb. 19-20.

Last weekend the Tornados, who took part in the Wingate Challenge in Monroe, N.C., played on the par 72 course at the Rolling Hills Country Club which is 5,968 yards in distance. Brevard was represented by two individuals, Rhyne and Taylor Scovel.

Scovel was the top finisher for Brevard, placing 54th in the event after shooting 37-over-par (181) in two rounds of play. Scovel's scores included a 91 in the first and a 90 in the second as she was 18-over-par on Tuesday afternoon. After recording two pars on the front nine, Scovel came through with three on the back nine at the 10th, 11th and 13th holes to shave two strokes from her front nine score.

Rhyne carded a 189 for the Tornados, finishing 45-over par with rounds of 95 and 94, as she finished in 56th. The senior posted four pars on the final day and three on the front nine, which took place at the second, fifth and ninth holes.
