? Final Results TUCSON, Ariz.-- Despite scoring the fifth-best second round score out of 15 teams, the women's golf team remained in 11th place after the final round of the interupted 54-hole Wildcat Invitational.
After playing for over 10 hours Sunday, the second round was suspended until Monday in which the Badgers scored a 291-- just one stroke over their fall best 18-hole score.
