In a 15-team field that included 12 nationally ranked squads, the Longhorns (294-292-297) finished at 19-over-par 883 in their final regular season tune-up. Junior Bertine Strauss (72-74-72) was Texas' low player for the fourth-straight tournament after tying for 20th place at 2-over 218. Her final-round 72 was balanced by two birdies and as many bogeys.
LAST YEAR AT THE BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP: Wind continued to play a pivotal role at the 2013 Big 12 Championship in Rhodes, Iowa, as the Texas Women's Golf team carded a final round total of 24-over-par 312 to finish tied for sixth place at +72 (327-297-312=936). Bertine Strauss led the Longhorns on the individual leaderboard with a 54-hole score of 11-over 227 (80-69-78) at The Harvester to finish tied for seventh place overall.
