Good thing the Buffs have Emily Talley.
The sophomore Talley tied for fifth overall individually. This helped the Colorado Buffaloes women’s golf team finish in sixth place at the Big 12 Championships at the Jimmy Austin OU Golf Course in Norman, Oklahoma. She tied with Sara Zwartynski of Texas A&M.
Texas A&M won the overall team title, beating out Oklahoma State by one stroke. Texas, Iowa State and Texas Tech rounded out the top five.
Behind Talley, the other top Buffs included senior Christine Kim who finished tied for 24th, freshman Taylor Doyle who tied for 28th, junior Stephanie Simich who tied for 30th and senior Dominique Pytlewski who tied for 49th.
Caroline Hedwall of Oklahoma State won the overall individual title.
Colorado will find out if they qualify for the NCAA tournament on Monday when the field is announced at 2 p.m.
