FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Baylor women's golf shot an 8-under 856 to finish off a 10^th place finish at the Mason Rudolph Championship on Sunday.

THE RUNDOWN
Hasegawa played her first four holes at even par but closed the front nine with a birdie at No. 5 and an eagle at No. 7 to make the turn in 33. The senior's second nine included just three pars with four bogeys and two birdies to card a third-straight round at par or better.

Silje Ohma started strong with a pair of front-nine birdies at Nos. 1 and 4 to make the turn with a 2-under 34. The junior reached 3-under with a birdie at No. 13 and would stay there, playing the final four holes at even par after a bogey at No. 15 and a birdie at No. 18 to finish 26^th.

Bridget Boczar closed the weekend with a 4-over 76 on Sunday to finish tied for 38^th. The Oakland transfer reached 2-under with a pair of early birdies at Nos. 4 and 7 before closing the front nine with back-to-back bogeys at Nos. 8 and 9. The junior closed with a 4-over 40 on the second nine after bogeys at Nos. 11, 13, 17 and 18 around a birdie at No. 16.

BaiMai Seema shot a 1-over 73 to finish her weekend in a tie for 51st. Seema played an even-par opening nine with birdies at Nos. 1, 4 and 7 with bogeys at Nos. 3, 5 and 8. The senior's second nine included a couple of bogeys at Nos. 13 and 15, but she closed strong with a birdie at No. 18.

Ashleen Kaur carded a quick bogey at No. 2 but responded with three-straight birdies at Nos. 4-6 to get back into red figures. She suffered a brief setback with a double-bogey at No. 8 before responding with a birdie at No. 9 to cap a 1-under front nine. The sophomore dropped back over par with a bogey at No. 10 and a double-bogey at No. 12. She scratched back a shot with a birdie at No. 17 before closing with a bogey at No. 18 to shoot 2-over 74.

HIGHLIGHTS

Baylor led the field with 65 birdies this week
BU's 856 ranks as one of the top-20 rounds in team history
Shooting 8-under for the week, the Bears recorded a top-15 score in relation to par in program history
Sera Hasegawa fired three rounds at par or better for the first time since the NCAA Las Vegas Regional last year
Ohma's par-4 scoring average (3.77) led the field this week

QUOTABLE:
Head coach Jay Goble on the team's performance— "I hate that we couldn't get out of second gear the last two rounds, but we will take a lot of positives from this week. Silje [Ohma] is back to playing some solid golf, and it is fun to watch her play well. It was also good to see Sera have a consistent week, and even though she did not putt her best, her ball striking is elite, which bodes well for us."

WHAT'S NEXT
The Bears will tee it up in the White Sands Aggie Invitational at Paradise Islands, Bahamas, Oct. 18-20 at The Ocean Club Golf Club. For more information on Baylor Women's Golf, follow @BaylorWGolf on X, Instagram and Facebook.
