Raleigh win takes Zalewska into top 200

Dorota Zalewska takes her place in the World Amateur Golf Ranking® top 200 thanks to victory in the NCAA Raleigh Regional. Poland’s number one player, a student at the University of Chattanooga, was the only player in the field to record three scores better than 70 around the Lonnie Poole Golf Course at NC State in Raleigh, North Carolina. Zalewska sandwiched a 6-under-par 66 between a pair of 69s to post a 12-under 204 aggregate. It was good enough for a four-shot win and pushes her 73 positions up the ranking to 159^th.

Bae bests Athens Regional

Jenny Bae of the United States also distinguished herself as the only player to return three sub-70 scores when she did so in the NCAA Athens Regional at the University of Georgia Golf Course. Bae, who attends the University of Georgia, used home course advantage to compile rounds of 69, 67 and 67 for a 13-under 203 total and a six-shot win. She moves inside the top 20, advancing five spots to 16^th.

Honours even for Stone and Biermann

There was nothing to separate Americans Latanna Stone and Brooke Biermann at the conclusion of the NCAA Palm Beach Regional. They were declared joint winners on matching 3-under 213s, one shot ahead of the field. Louisiana State University student Stone progresses eight positions to 29^th, while Michigan State’s Biermann is 56 places better off in 196^th.
