COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State women's golf team fell to Clemson, 4-2, in its final match of the Barbara Nicklaus Cup on Tuesday. Overall, the Buckeyes went 2-1 at the match play tournament, winning matches against Florida and Charlotte on Monday.
Nellie Ong was the only Buckeye to win all three of her matches at Muirfield Village. She defeated Clemson's Sydney Roberts, 5&4. After birdieing hole five, Ong was 3-up on her opponent. Roberts won hole six, but Ong earned the win on seven to stay ahead by three. Ong cemented her victory with a win on 14.
Faith Choi and Kary Hollenbaugh both tied their matches on Tuesday. Choi faced Katherine Schuster and Hollenbaugh took on Chloe Holder. Choi was 2-up after the first two holes. The pair tied the next three holes and Schuster took the lead with wins on six, seven, eight and nine. Choi won 10, 12, and 16. The pair was tied after 17 and Choi earned the win on 18 to tie the match. Holder was 3-up through the first six holes, but Hollenbaugh won four straight to get up by one. The pair traded the lead and tied the last four holes.
Mandy Song fell to Melena Barrientos, 2&1. Song was 2-up after the first three holes, but her partner tied things up on five. A birdie from Song on seven put her back ahead. The pair continued to trade the lead. Song birdied two holes on the back nine, but Barrientos won the last two holes to earn the match win.
Kavya Ajjarapu was defeated by Isabella Rawl, 3&2. Ajjarapu was 1-up through six holes after shooting a birdie on six. Her partner tied things up on nine. After a birdie on 11, Ajjarapu was once again 1-up, but her partner won three of the last five holes to win the match.
Combined, the Buckeye women and men placed fourth with 15.5 points.
"It's such an honor to host the Barbara Nicklaus Cup at Muirfield Village Golf Club," said head coach Lisa Strom. "Adding the PlayYellow Collegiate-Am and raising money for our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital makes it even more meaningful this year."
On Sunday, when the teams were welcomed to Muirfield Village, Mrs. Nicklaus spoke to the players and coaches, giving background on the tournament and her history with Children's Miracle Network (CMN). The Nicklaus Children's Hospital is the official CMN hospital in South Florida. The Ohio State golf programs were able to donate an incredible $65,000 that was raised at Sunday's college-am to PlayYellow, a CMN program that raises money through the game of golf.
The Buckeyes close out their fall season at the Jim West Challenge in San Marcos, Texas Oct. 20-21.
