Leading the way for the Ducks was sophomore Cassy Isagawa (74-74-71-219),@@http://www.golfstat.com/2012-2013/women/wtourfl12/W1241.htm@@ who logged in the Ducks’ lowest score with a 1-under 71 to finish in fifth place overall, which was also her lowest score of the tournament. Isagawa credits her solid performance to a 10 a.m. shotgun start that happened due to early-morning fog.
“I think that (having a shotgun start) helped me today so I wasn’t able to overthink my swing and my putting,” Isagawa said to GoDucks.com. Also helping lead the way for the Ducks was sophomore Cali Hipp (79-80-75-234), who had her best score of the tournament with a score of a 3-over 75.@@http://www.golfstat.com/2012-2013/women/wtourfl12/W1241.htm@@

Other notable performances.
