PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- With second straight tally of 73 from junior Monet Chun and 74s from seniors Hailey Borja, Anika Dy and freshman Lauren Sung, the 43rd-ranked University of Michigan women's golf team posted a 295 final round Sunday (April 23) to jump four spots and tie for sixth (897) with Michigan State at the 2023 Big Ten Championships being played at Fox Chapel Golf Club.
For the sixth straight championship, U-M has had at least two golfers finish among the top 20 individually as Dy tied for 15th (222) and Chun tied for 19th (223).
Michigan opened its 41st conference championship with back-to-back team totals of 301, positioning itself tied with Iowa for 10th after 36 holes (602). Using four rounds of 74 or better, including a second straight 73 (+2) from Chun, the Maize and Blue closed with a 295 final-round tally.
Dy shined for the Wolverines in her first conference championship appearance, opening with an even-par 71. After battling weather delays in the second round, she closed with a 77, but maintained a top 20 position. After a slow start to her final round (four-over), she finished one-under over her final 12 holes to etch one of three Wolverine 74s. With her 222 total, she tied for 16th to lead the Maize and Blue for the third time this season.
After an opening 77, Chun produced back-to-back 73s to close with a 223 total and tie for 20th. After opening the championship six-over, she played her next 36 holes at four-over par -- closing 27 front-nine holes at one-over par with four of her five birdies.
Rounding out U-M's top three finishers was Borja, who tied for 29th at 225. Lauren Sung made her postseason debut for the Wolverines and tied for 30th with her 227 total. After rounds of 76 and 77 to start, she closed with a 74 to help give U-M four among the top half over the 83-golfer field.
With a final round 62 (-9) from individual champion Crystal Wang, Illinois rallied on the final day to capture the team title with an 865 total (286-292-287). Northwestern (295-286-287) was the runner-up at 868 and Ohio State (292-285-294) was third.
