HASTINGS, Minn. – Emily Renner set two new golf records at the D3 Classic in Hastings this weekend to help fuel the College of Saint Benedict golf team to a 10th place team finish.
Junior Emily Renner not only shot her collegiate career best round of 71 on day two of the D3 Classic, but the single round score on the par 73 course would give her the new title holder of best career round in CSB history with a –2 under par. The previous record was held by Grace Todora in 2011, who shot a –1 under par 71 at the MIAC Championships at Bunker Hills, which plays as a par 72 course. Renner also set the new 36-hole record, shooting a two-day total of 146. The previous 36-hole record of 149 was shot by All-American golfer Kathryn Hauff in 2010.
Renner's rounds of 75 and 71 put her tied for second individually to earn medalist honors. She finished her second round with four birdies and an eagle.
First year Jamie Bimberg shot a first day round of 83, followed by a career-best round of 77 to finish tied for 33rd individually. She finished her second round with four birdies.
