Redbirds Dominate Third Round at More Than Golf Invitational

Using the lowest team round score in the three-round tournament, the Illinois State women's golf team climbed in the final standings, finishing third overall at the 2025 More Than Golf Invitational, as Jinyoung Yun's five-under 68 was tied for the lowest individual round of the tournament.

AIKEN, S.C. – Using the lowest team round score in the three-round tournament, the Illinois State women's golf team climbed in the final standings, finishing third overall at the 2025 More Than Golf Invitational, as Jinyoung Yun's five-under 68 was tied for the lowest individual round of the tournament.

Yun's final round saw her climb eight spots into eighth place overall, finishing at fourth place, which is her eighth top-10 finish this season and sixth top-five finish in nine tournaments between the fall and spring.

Nationally ranked Georgia Southern (36th) won the event with a three-round score of 876, while Delaware (894) finished a single shot ahead of ISU's 895. Dartmouth (897), Columbia (904), East Tennessee State (916), Kennesaw State (923), Georgetown (925), Oakland (939), Charleston Southern (941), Albany (955), and tournament host Augusta (962) closed out the dozen schools in the field.

Yun was steady throughout her round; however, used a five-hole stretch where she had an eagle, three birdies and a par, and was never over par at any point of the round. In all she had an eagle, five birdies, and 10 pars for her five-under 68, and she closed play in fourth place.

Freshman Elise Fennell carded an even-par 73 on her final round, as she had three birdies and 13 pars, while her +11 final aggregate score had her tie for 24th in the tournament field.

Morgan Jones closed the tournament tied for seventh, as she finished with a one-over 74, and ended the tournament two strokes over par. Her final round had four birdies and nine pars for her fifth top-10 finish this year.

Lory Paradis was the team's final scoring member of the squad, as she ended with a one-over 76, and with a three-round 227, she tied for 15th overall in the tournament. Her final round had a trio of birdies and 11 pars.

Playing as an individual, Alex Sparrow had an unforgettable six-hole span in the middle of her round, as she carded an eagle, four birdies and a par during the mid-point of her round, and behind her 76 final score, she tied for 33rd in the tournament with a three-round 233.

Jessica Jolly had a birdie and a dozen pars to compile a final-round 77.

The Redbirds are back in action next weekend, when the team competes in the Boilermaker Spring Classic, hosted by Purdue University on April 6 and 7.
