KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. - CofC Women's Golf claimed fourth place out of 16 teams on Tuesday at the 2021 Palmetto Intercollegiate played at the Turtle Point cours6e at the world-famous Kiawah Island Golf Resort. The Cougs wrapped up the 54-hole, 72-par event with a 4-over par 292 in the final round - matching the best team round on the course on Tuesday.

CofC wrapped up a strong fall season with a third consecutive Top-4 team finish after a win at Edisto and a second-place performance at the Evie Odom Invite. Freshman Emma Schimpf was stellar yet again as she continues a historic debut season at CofC. Schimpf placed 7th overall at 2-under par to lead the team and earn her third straight Top-10 performance to end the fall campaign.

Sophomore Viktoria Hund punctuated her fall season with her best round-to-par yet, a 4-under 68 in the third round on Tuesday. Hund moved up 25 spots on the leaderboard to nab a Top-10 finish at T-10. Senior Jodee Tindal also finished strong with a 1-under 71 and even-par 72 over the final 36 holes. She finished T-16 to give the Cougars three competitors in the Top 16.

"I'm really proud of the way we finished today." head coach Jamie Futrell said. "I came into Tuesday thinking 295 would a great finish and we shot a 292, matching the best round on the course. We'll work hard here in the offseason and get ready for a strong start in February. Viktoria Hund played like the elite player she is on Tuesday and congrats to Jodee for a strong week. Another Top-10 for Emma, what can you say at this point, she is a really good for us."
