BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – Troy junior Fátima Fernández Cano fired the eighth-best round of the day on Saturday in the final round of the NCAA East Regional at the Shoal Creek Country Club. She shot a 2-over 74 to climb 14 spots on the leaderboard and finish her third NCAA Regional appearance in a tie for 50th place.
Cano turned in an impressive opening nine holes as she made the turn at 2-under with birdies on No. 10, No. 14 and No. 17 around just one bogey. Her card flipped to the black after a bogey and double-bogey on the first two holes after making the turn. Cano followed with six straight pars before a bogey on the final hole.
Cano finishes the season with a 72.79 stroke average to break her own school record by 1.07 strokes. She now has three of the four lowest single-season stroke averages in school history, while her 74.07 career stroke average is 2.59 strokes better than any other golfer in school history.
She entered the NCAA East Regional ranked fifth nationally with a 4.02 average on par-4 holes, while ranking 18th with a 72.15 stroke average and +0.35 score versus par. A native of Santiago de Compostela, Spain, Cano is currently slotted 24th in the latest World Amateur Golf rankings, while checking in 52nd in the Golfweek national collegiate rankings.
