Alice Putoud finished 31st at the NCAA Women's Golf National Championships.

Putoud got off to a slow start in round one but more than made up for it in the final two rounds. She shot 87 to open play, placing her near the bottom of the field. Round two was much better for Putoud, who shot one of the best scores of the day with 73. She stayed consistent in the final round, shooting 74 to tie for 31st overall.

It capped a record-setting season for Putoud, who became the first TU women's golfer to earn selection to the NCAA National Championships and also selection to the WGCA All East Region team.

She also landed her third All Conference selection while leading the team in scoring average.

"It has been great to watch Alice grow over the past 5 years," said Head Women's Golf Coach Brittany Brownell. "She has been a huge part of our team success and our team chemistry. Alice has put in a lot of hard work on and off the golf course and was very deserving to qualify for the NCAA Championship. I am very proud of her success over her time here at Tiffin! I am looking forward to having her back in the fall on the coaching side. She will be able to continue to contribute a lot of her golf knowledge to the women on our team."
