THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Kansas sophomore Lauren Heinlein carded a one-over 73 (+1) to lead KU in the final round of the 2021 Big 12 Women’s Golf Championship at The Club of Carlton Woods at The Woodlands, Texas, Tuesday.
In a field that featured seven nationally-ranked teams, Kansas shot a 299 (+11) Tuesday and finished ninth at the championship with a three-round 890. Sixth-ranked Oklahoma State won the event with an 830 (-34). The Cowgirls dominated the three-day tournament and were 16 shots better than runner-up Texas Tech (-18).
“We definitely didn’t end the season the way we had wanted to,” Kansas head coach Erin O’Neil said. “Our conference is extremely competitive but that doesn’t make finishing in last less difficult. There were certainly bright spots along the way but we need to eliminate the occasional high rounds that were also sprinkled in.”
THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Kansas sophomore Abby Glynn carded a career-low round 68 (-4) on the second day of the 2021 Big 12 Women’s Golf Championship at The Club of Carlton Woods at The Woodlands, Texas, Monday.

Glynn recorded six birdies in her second round, including birds on the final two holes. The Topeka, Kansas, native had three birdies on both the front and back nine. Her previous low was 71 set two times prior with the latest earlier this spring in the second round of the Clemson Invitational on March 27.
