Final Results | Season Statistics 

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The University of Miami golf team finished in sixth place Monday at the 2018 ACC Championships at the par-72, 6,122-yard Grandover Resort East Course in Greensboro, N.C. The Hurricanes grinded through tough playing conditions Monday to shoot their best round of the tournament, a 6-over-par 294, and finish the 54-hole tournament with a team score of 893 (+29).
 
“It was a miserable day today in North Carolina, but my girls hung in there,” Miami head coach Patti Rizzo said. “They did great considering the circumstances. The ACC is an extremely strong conference again this year, so a sixth-place finish wasn’t too bad.”
 
Three Miami golfers finished among the top 20. After carding a 1-over 73 Monday, Dewi Weber led Miami in the individual standings with a 3-over 219, tying for 12th place. Renate Grimstad had the Hurricanes’ low round of the day Monday with a 1-under 71 as she moved up to tie for 18th place with a 5-over 221.
 
Kristyna Frydlova fired an even-par 72 in the final round and concluded the tournament with a 4-over 220, tying for 16th place.
 
After a tough first nine holes, Macarena Aguilera bounced back and went 2-under on the final nine holes to finish with a 6-over 78 for the day. Aguilera tied for 57th overall with a final score of 240. Serena Hou shot a 79 on Monday and tied for 59th at 245.
 
Duke ran away with the team championship, firing a 2-under 849 for the tournament and winning by 27 strokes over Florida State. The Blue Devils’ Leona Maguire and Jaravee Boonchant tied atop the leaderboard at 6-under 210, with Maguire winning medalist honors on the third playoff hole.
 
Miami now awaits its NCAA tournament fate. The regional field will be announced at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday on the Golf Channel. NCAA Regionals run from May 7-9 at four sites.
