Scottish internationalist Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies) led the way for her Kansas State University team as they won their second team championship of the 2016 – 17 season with victory in the Westbrook Spring Invitational at Westbrook Village Golf Club, Peoria, Arizona, recently.

A third round score of 5 under par 67 gave Connie a three round total of 210, six under par, and second place, by a single shot,  in the individual event.

The team score of 3-under par 861 equalled the best ever team performance by the university side.

“I’m really proud of the ladies,” said head coach Kristi Knight. “They did what they needed to do, which was stay patient and stay calm throughout the round.”

Kansas State, who began the day two shots behind, finished four strokes ahead of a second-place tie between Kansas and Ohio State.
