HATTIESBURG, Miss. — Louise Cuyvers carded a four-under 68 in the final round to claim the individual title on Tuesday afternoon, leading Southern Miss to a second-place finish at The Judson.
Cuyvers, a junior from Lincent, Belgium, finished at 12-under-par, six strokes clear of South Alabama's Mercedes Aldana (-6). She made six birdies in the final round, four on the front nine and two on the back, with her 33 on the front the low nine of her day. Her 204 total is the lowest 54-hole score of her career, seven strokes better than the 211 she shot at The Lady Clerico last season. Cuyvers led the field with 18 birdies and topped the par-4 and par-5 scoring averages at 3.83 and 4.50. She also tied for the best par-3 average at 2.92.
Savannah Van Gaalen followed with an even-par 72 in the final round to tie for seventh at three-over. Liv Romer also shot a 72, which included an eagle on the par-4 eighth hole, and tied for 18th at nine-over. Morgan Guepet shot a 78 to tie for 30th, and Chloe Stevenazzi added a 77 to tie for 62nd. Ava Bates, competing as an individual, tied for 38th after a 75.
South Alabama won the team title at one-over par, 12 strokes ahead of the Golden Eagles at 13-over. Southern Miss improved after a pair of six-over rounds to open the event, finishing the final round at one-over. Tulane took third at 22-over, followed by Northern Colorado and Samford. South Alabama's Aldana and Lilian Buehle finished second and third individually.
