Cougars place two among top-12 leaders at conference tournament

UH sophomore Raegan Bremer capped the 2013-14 season Tuesday afternoon with a fourth-place finish at the inaugural American Athletic Conference Championships at Hammock Beach Resort and Golf Club.

Bremer used a consistent effort all day to finish the final round with a 1-over-par 73 on the 6,235-yard, par-72 Ocean Course. Bogeying her second hole of the day, Bremer rallied with a birdie on the 380-yard, par-4 fifth hole and then had only one more bogey on No. 10 to blemish her scorecard.

She finished the three-day, 54-hole tournament at 225 to earn her fourth top-5 finish of the season and lead the Cougars for the seventh time in 2013-14. She made history earlier this month when she captured medalist honors at the HBU Husky Invitational at Sugar Land’s Riverbend Country Club, a first in program history.

Like Bremer, junior Courtney Ferguson lowered her score for the third straight day and tied for 12th with a score of 234. The Clear Lake native drained an eagle on the fifth hole on the way to a final-round 75 and earned her fourth top-20 finish this season. Freshman Emily Gilbreth finished 30th at 246.
