MIDLOTHIAN, Va. Lauren Doughtie, a rising junior on the NC State women's golf team, shot a final round 76 to finish tied for fourth at the 2007 Women’s Eastern Golf Association Amateur Championship at the Independence Golf Club.
Among the 80 competing golfers, Doughtie shared the lead after the first two days of competition but fell back after firing a four-over 76 on the last of the three-day, 54-hole tournament. Doughtie finished the championship at +2 (70-72-76=218).
NC State rising sophomores Kristen Vincent and Kathleen Strandberg also competed in the championship. Vincent placed in a tie for 22nd at +11 (77-72-78=227), while Strandberg finished in a tie for 39th at +16 (78-75-79=232).
The championship is open to female amateur golfers, with a certified handicap index of 11.5 or less and who belong to a WEGA Member Club (or have school affiliation).
