\nHUNTINGTON, W. Va. (WMUL-FM) \u2014 The Marshall Thundering Herd Women\u2019s Golf Team competed at the Butler Invitational over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Leading the way for the Herd was junior Madison Borders finishing in the top 5 after every round and finished the week with 10 birdies. Head coach Brooke Burkhammer says that she has been impressed with Borders\u2019 development going back to last season.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe played great,\u201d Burkhammer said. \u201cShe\u2019s been working really hard. Even in the spring of last year, this past year, she was trending in the right direction and posting some good scores for us and playing solid golf. So, I\u2019m glad that it\u2019s kind of moved over to this year. And I\u2019m just really proud of her.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Thundering Herd finished fourth overall as a team in the invitational.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were some great teams,\u201d Burkhammer said. “Butler\u2019s a great team, Dayton, Loyola Belmont. I mean, they\u2019ve got tradition of having really good golf teams. So, just being able to compete against the, maybe same people, in golf, it\u2019s pretty common where you might not see some of the same teams at every tournament. You might see them only once a year. So, we might not see those teams again. But anytime you can tee it up and compete against no matter who it is, I feel as if you\u2019re going to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another strong performance out of the Thundering Herd was junior and Milton, W. Va. native, Taylor Sargent, who earned a top 25 performance as an individual.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought she played really well in that first day, those 36 holes. Posting 72, 73. She\u2019s been working really hard. I know she didn\u2019t play as well as she wanted in that final round, but you know, her game is trending in the right direction. I\u2019m excited to kind of see what the future holds for her. Overall, she\u2019s just been playing solid golf.\u201d<\/p>\n
