“I’m really proud of the way we fought today,” said Oklahoma women’s golf head coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell. “It was a big day for us today. We’ve been so close all year and we finally put a great final round together. The course played tough today and we had low round of the day. It was huge help for our team.”
Screen opened the final round with a bogey but quickly settled down to get back to even after a birdie on the ninth. She compiled a four-hole stretch of two birdies and two bogeys and concluded her day with back-to-back birdies on the sixth and seventh holes to close her tournament 70-70-70.

“I’m really proud of Maria,” said Drouin-Luttrell. “She was hitting great shots and just letting the putts fall and really helped put the team in a great position today.”
