WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Notre Dame women’s golf team opened up the fall season at Purdue University’s Kampen-Cosler Course in the 2023 Boilermaker Classic on September 4-5. The Irish competed amongst 14 other programs, securing a fifth place finish as team with a score of 879 (+15).
“The Boilermaker Classic was a really solid kickoff to our season,” said head coach Caroline Powers Ellis. “We have a lot of new faces on our team this year and the energy and growth we have seen in these first few weeks has been fun to work with.”
Notre Dame was led by graduate student Lauren Beaudreau, who finished T4 with a score of 211 (-5). Beaudreau recorded 11 birdies, seven of which came in the final round as she shot an impressive 67 (-5) in round three. She was followed by freshman Anna Heck who recorded a T17 finish in her first tournament with the Irish. Heck shot a 219 (+3), with her best performance coming in round two as she recorded five birdies and shot a 70 (-2).
“Lauren played great all three rounds and it was good to see her patience pay off with the putts falling today,” said Powers Ellis. “It is exciting to see so many birdies and good rounds through the depth of the lineup early in the year. I’m really proud of Anna Heck in her first collegiate tournament with a top-20 finish. We will continue to learn from each round we play and build on this momentum.”
