With the leaders already in the clubhouse, the fight for a spot in the top 15 spots didn’t disappoint.
At the end of Sunday’s third round, it was determined that a playoff would be needed to decide the 15th team in the fourth round. South Carolina and Wake Forest were both tied at 39-over. For the playoff, each team would have one golfer play one hole between holes 14-18. The lowest combined score would move on to the next round.
The Gamecocks came out on top by one stroke beating the Demon Deacons 22-23 in order to move on.
Got some good news for y’all…

Virginia was two strokes away from being apart of that playoff. Beth Lillie came up clutch down the stretch with two birdies on her final four holes to give her team the edge in order to claim a spot in the next round. All four of the Cavalier scores that counted on Sunday played the final hole at even-par or better, including an eagle from Amanda Sambach.
