Oklahoma Wesleyan women to compete in NAIA National Championship
Oklahoma Wesleyan, powered by four starters from the state, will be one off the local teams that will be competing in the NAIA National Women’s Golf Championship May 14-17 at Lincoln Park Golf Course in Oklahoma City.
The small college from Bartlesville secured its spot last week by winning the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference championship, a tournament held over two different courses at two different dates. Below are the combined scores. The first leg was held at Crestview Country Club in Wichita and the final two rounds at Buffalo Dunes in Garden City, Kan.
Korena Aills, a junior from Broken Arrow, won the individual championship with rounds of 82-77-79-82 for a one-shot victory over teammate Jordan Leonard, a junior from Owasso. The other starters are Ashlyn Phipps, a freshman from Broken Arrow; Tiffani Natera, a freshman from Dallas, and Sonnie Palmatary, a sophomore from Pawnee.
