WILMINGTON, N.C. –
The 14th-ranked New Mexico women’s golf team captured its 11th tournament title in the last four years by repeating as champions of the Landfall Tradition Sunday afternoon. The Lobos won the 12-team field, which included seven ranked teams, with a score of 297-285-296–878 (+14), three strokes better than host UNC-Wilmington. UNM also won the Landfall Tradition, which was held at the par-72, 6,034-yard Jack Nicklaus Course, in 2003.
