The Cowboys weren’t the only team to place in a recent tournament. The Cowgirls finished in eighth place at the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate in New Orleans last Tuesday. Additionally, senior Kenzie Neisen recorded the first hole-in-one of her career on a par 3.

ICYMI @kenzieneisen used a 9-iron to record her first ace in a Cowgirl uniform, and it came on the 138-yard par 3 No. 3 at English Turn in New Orleans. Congrats, Kenzie! #golfschool #okstate
