The University of Arizona women's golf team completed third round play at the Golfweek Conference Challenge on Wednesday at Red Sky Golf Club in Wolcott, Colo.
Haley Moore won the individual tournament shooting 7-under par for the tournament with rounds of 74,64, and 71. This is Moore's second career collegiate victory after she won the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate last season.
"I played pretty solid this week. I struck the ball real well all three rounds," said Moore. "I had some bad holes here and there but I just stayed patient and finished strong with the eagle putt on No. 18. The difference this week was focusing a lot on where to place the ball on these greens as they were very fast and undulating. I remained patient every round as it got windy and cold coming towards the end of the round. Today I got off to a hot start on my first nine and then had bad some bad holes and got frustrated but I kept my composure until the end and finished strong to pull out the win."
"I'm very proud of how Haley kept her composure today," said head coach
Laura Ianello. "She got a little nervous in the middle of the round and fought it out for the win."
