Last week, the four-year letter winner finished tied for fifth in Sylvania, Ohio, with an 11-under-par 273 over four rounds. After concluding day one, four-over-par, the former Cane dominated the final three rounds, scoring 15-under (64, 66, 68).
 
The finish earned her a berth at the British Open, taking place at the Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, August 2-5. Following the conclusion of Thursday’s opening round, Darquea sits in a tie for 83rd scoring 2-over-par, 74, registering one birdie on the day.
 
Darquea concluded her UM career, earning three All-ACC Conference honors (2014-16), three All-Conference Academic team selections (2014-16) and was named ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2016.
