09.12.2023 | Women's Golf
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Senior Phoebe Carles captured the second individual tournament title in Asheville Women's Golf program history, as Madyson Gold tied for a runner-up finish and Asheville finished second as a team at William and Mary's Kingsmill Intercollegiate on Tuesday (Sept. 12).
Asheville finished with a team total of 899 (+35) in the tournament, marking the fourth-lowest team 54-hole total in program history. Carles's win is the first of her career and only the second individual title in program history, while Gold captured the team's first-ever individual tournament title at Wofford's Low Country Intercollegiate last season. Carles shot an even-par 72 in the final round to cap off a 54-hole total of 216, the third-lowest 54-hole total in program history. Gold turned in a 70 (-2) in the final round, turning in a 220 total, tying for the eighth-lowest 54-hole total in program history. Beryl Giletti also finished with an 81 (+9) in the final round, turning in a 229 total to finish tied for 19th. Ally Kerr turned in a 79 (+7) in the final round, while Hailey Pendleton finished with an 85 (+13) and Amber Capote turned in an 80 (+10).
Carles's day began with a double bogey on No. 1 and a birdie on No. 2, before she would par the next three holes. After a birdie on No. 6, she would par the next three holes before making the turn to the back. She would make par on No. 10 and a birdie on No. 11, before making par on the next six holes and finishing on No. 18 with a bogey for her third consecutive even-par round.
Gold started with a bogey on No. 1, before making par on the next four holes and making birdie on the following three. She finished the front nine with a par on No. 9, before making bogey on No. 10 and par on No. 11 and No. 12. She made bogey on No. 13 and pars on No. 14 and No. 15, before scoring an eagle on No. 16 and finishing the day with pars on No. 17 and No. 18. With her eagle on No. 16, Gold now holds the program's career eagles record with the third of her career. In addition, Gold is the first player in program history with 150 career birdies.
Giletti opened with a par on No. 1, before making bogey on the next two holes and making par on No. 4 through No. 7. She finished the front nine with a bogey on No. 8 and a par on No. 9. After opening the back nine with a bogey on No. 10, she would make par on No. 11 and a double bogey on No. 12. After a par on No. 13 and a bogey on No. 14, Giletti would par the next two holes before finishing her round with bogeys on No. 17 and No. 18.
"It must be the coach in me, but I am both excited and disappointed," said head coach Ross Cash. "I am really excited for Phoebe and Mady. I know how much work they have put in and the complete mindset change they have helped orchestrate here since I became the head coach. Coaches don't win, it's always the players, and I just know my team is ready. I think they are so close to feeling ready as well. We are working on all the correct things and this team will get our first tournament win. UNC Asheville did get our second individual tournament win in school history and that is special as well. We are looking forward to next week."
The Bulldogs return to action next week (Sept. 18-19) at Ball State's Brittany Kelly Classic.
