The graduate senior from Lithuania’s 8-under round of 64 was also the lowest shot by a Pac-12 golfer this season and tied the program record for lowest individual round, matching Haley Moore’s 8-under par performance during the 2017 GolfWeek Conference Challenge. The individual tournament title was the first of her career after a pair of third place finishes in 2020 and 2023.
