Yeung's Best Leads UNC To Third-Place Finish At Eagle Creek
February 4, 2025 | Women's Golf
UNC freshman Helen Yeung tied for third after shooting a final-round 68 in leading the Tar Heels to a third-place finish in the PDI Intercollegiate Tuesday at Eagle Creek Golf Club in Orlando.
Yeung's finish is the highest by a Carolina freshman since October 2017, when Ava Bergner tied for third in the Tar Heel Invitational.
Carolina shot 11 under par in the third round, which matched Mississippi State for the best score of the final round. The Tar Heels shot 283-280-277 for a 54-hole total of 840, which was a season-best 24 strokes under par and six behind the team champion Baylor.

Megan Streicher tied for seventh at 8-under 208 with rounds of 70-69-69. It was her fifth top-10 finish in as many starts this season.
Inez Ng (72-70-72) and Ing Iadpluem (71-72-71) tied for 36th at 2-under 214. Reagan Southerland (72-74-69)matched her season-low round of 69 today and finished 1 under in a tie for 43rd.
