Miranda Lu recorded her first career victory and tied a UVA program record with her final round of 65 as Virginia combined for a score of 25-under 551 to claim their third team title of the season on Monday in the inaugural Keswick Cup at Keswick Club’s Full Cry Course.
Lu opened her day shooting a 2-under 70, which featured four first-round birdies. She followed up with a bogey-free 7-under 65 to tie a Virginia record for low round.
Lu’s 36-hole score of 9-under 135 came with a combined 11 birdies.
“I just really wanted to finish the [fall] season strong, and I think doing it at home was just the perfect opportunity,” Lu said. “I think mentality wise, I stayed very focused shot-by-shot and disciplined about my shots as well. … I just love my team so much. They’re always there for me, and I can always count on them having my back”
Jaclyn LaHa earned runner-up honors with her 8-under 136 (68-68) to log her fourth top-five finish of the fall season.
LaHa has not finished outside the Top 15 in UVA’s five tournaments this season.
Her pair of rounds in the sixties mark her eighth and ninth on the season.
Zoe Cusack placed third at 7-under 137 with a pair of rounds in the sixties (69-68)...
