Valspar Finals- UM/MSU Women’s results
Both the Spartans and Wolverine women were probably hoping for more playing at the Valspar Invitational in Augusta, Ga. and the Spartans were +11, but still finished third behind Georgia Southern and UCF. Jan Dowling’s Wolverines finished 10th out of 13 schools midway through the spring season.
Both B1G schools found course conditions rough and finished over par on par 3, 4, and 5 holes. MSU women placed three players in the tournament’s top ten on the par fives.
