LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Kentucky women’s golf team wrapped up the fall season at the Alamo Invitational on Tuesday afternoon in fourth place. The Wildcats finished the three-day event in San Antonio at 19-over-par. Kentucky was led by top-10 finishes from junior Ashleigh Albrecht and sophomore Liz Breed.
In her first event competing in the team lineup, Breed’s eighth-place finish is the first top-10 finish of her career. A sophomore, Breed finished the fall season strong with three birdies on the back nine, and continued her consistent play on the tournament with a 1-over-par 73 in the final round, leaving her 2-over on the tournament.
Albrecht earned her fourth top-10 finish in as many tournaments this season. Her even-par final round helped her jump 13 spots in the standings to finish tied for eighth. Albrecht’s stroke average for the fall was 73.58, a team best.
“I am very proud of Ashleigh and Liz,” said UK head coach Golda Johansson Borst. “Ashleigh has had a great fall and for her to have four top-10 finishes is truly outstanding. Liz had a very impressive showing and I am glad to see her confidence is back.”
Senior Ashlee Rose improved her play in the final round with a 2-over-par 74. Rose led the team with four birdies on the round, finishing tied for 32nd.

The University of Texas at San Antonio, which hosted the tournament, finished first at 2-over-par (866). Baylor and Texas A&M would round out the top three at 5-over-par and 16-over-par, respectively.
“Despite our struggles today, we hung tough and finished the round and season on a good note,” said coach Borst. “I am proud of the whole group for never giving up and for digging deep.”
Kentucky’s fall season was highlighted by three top-10 team finishes, including a victory at the Bettie Lou Evans Fall Invitational.
