Western Kentucky’s women’s golf team broke its program record for 54-hole team score by 11 strokes Tuesday, finishing second on a scorecard playoff in its Spring Break Shootout in Dade City, Fla.

The Lady Toppers tied with co-host Florida Gulf Coast with 5-over 857 totals, but FGCU claimed the championship on a fifth-player tiebreaker. Even that battle between the fifth players had to go to its own individual tiebreaker.

WKU’s 857 (280-293-284) surpassed its previous record of 868 set in the first event of this season, the USA Intercollegiate. The record before this season was 878.

The Lady Toppers set program records for 18 and 36 holes Monday.

“I’m really proud of how the team performed this week,” WKU coach Adam Gary said in a news release. “It’s awesome to set new records and personal bests. It’s a shame we came up short in a playoff, but I think the team will take a lot of positives away from this week.”

All five WKU golfers in team competition finished in the top 20.

Junior Bailey Tyree led WKU with her best performance to date, finishing third with a career-low 1-under 212 (68-73-71).

Tyree’s 212 tied for the third-lowest 54-hole individual score in Lady Topper history. She and freshman teammate Lizzie Loy tied for the tournament lead in par-3 scoring.

Sophomore Megan Clarke finished one shot behind Tyree, tying for fourth with an even-par 213 (69-73-71). It’s Clarke’s third top-10 result in the last four outings.

Loy also had the best performance of her career, tying for 12th with a 217 (71-76-70). Junior Abigail Smee tied for 14th at 218 (72-74-72) and led the event in par-5 scoring.

Junior Mary Joiner tied for 18th at 220 (72-73-75). Sophomore Caroline Cavin wrapped up at 233 competing as an individual.

Florida Gulf Coast’s Ailsa Clark won the individual title with a 7-under 206 mark.

The Lady Toppers return to the course at the Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate on April 1-2 in Germantown, Tenn.
