FINDLAY, Ohio – Missouri Western freshman Chong Yong of Griffon women’s golf shot a 79 in her final round at the NCAA national tournament at Findlay Country Club Saturday and finished tied for 58th with a four round total of 327.

She played her best round of the tournament on the final day as she dropped two strokes from the previous day. As the tournament went on, Yong continued to improve as she posted lower scores every round.

Yong became the first individual to qualify for the national tournament in program history. For back-to-back years, MWSU was represented at the national tournament as it qualified as a team last year.
