Hudepohl Wins Motor City Classic as Women's Golf Takes Second
Sophomore Eleanor Hudepohl wins for second time in last three tournaments
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Creighton's Eleanor Hudepohl overcame a two-stroke deficit on the back nine of the final round to win the Motor City Classic on Tuesday in Orlando, Fla. Hudepohl's one-stroke victory helped the Bluejay women's golf team to a second place finish in the team's first tournament of the spring.
A sophomore from Cincinnati, Ohio, Hudepohl had a three-round total of 223 to top the field of 36 golfers. She opened with a 1-under 71 on Sunday and followed it with a 78 in the second round to fall into a tie for third place, before a closing 74. She trailed Evansville's Allison Enchelmayer by two shots after 13 holes on Tuesday, then took advantage when the Purple Aces senior had three consecutive holes of bogey or worse. Hudepohl birdied the 17th hole, a par four measuring 322 yards, which proved to be the difference.
