Collegiate Update: Kemper, Trojans finish 14th at NAIA National Championship in Oklahoma City

Taylor University women’s golf completed the 2022 season with a 14th-place finish Friday in the NAIA National Championship at Lincoln Park Golf Course in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

“This season has been such a fun ride,” said Taylor head coach Cameron Andry. “After graduating four of our top five from last year’s squad we had a lot of unknowns coming into the year and I’m so proud of the way this squad grew both on and off the golf course. We enjoyed some incredible moments and I’m already looking forward to what God will do in and through this group moving forward.”

Triton Central graduate Elizabeth Kemper finished with a three-round total of 235 (79-76-80) to finish tied for 70th place overall.

The Taylor sophomore posted a 2-under-par 35 on the front nine of  Lincoln Park Thursday in round two of the national championship tournament. She ended the day with a 4-over-par 76.
