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).
