WICHITA, Kan. (EMUEagles.com) -- Baiyok Sukterm finished sixth and Karen Tsuru tied for ninth to give the Eastern Michigan University women's golf team a pair of top 10 finishers as the Eagles placed sixth overall as a team at the 2026 University of Oklahoma Intercollegiate, Oct. 5-6, in Wichita, Kan. Playing on the par-71, 6,127-yard Wichita Country Club course, Eastern posted a score of 5-over 857, which ranks as the third-best score in program history and the lowest in a par-71 event.
Host Oklahoma won the team title after shooting 13-under 839 with Missouri just behind the Sooners in second place at 11-under 841. Santa Clara finished third at 2-under 850 to round out the teams that broke par for the week while BYU (2-over 854) and Nebraska (3-over 855) finished fourth and fifth, respectively. The Eagles faced one fellow Mid-American Conference foe in Toledo, who was 11th at 34-over 886.
Individually, Sukterm (Bang Yi, Thailand/Panitchayakan Rajdamnern Technical College/Barton CC/Lindsey Wilson) was the Eagles' top finisher as she tied for sixth overall at 3-under 210 (71-70-69). She was the only player in the 66-player field to post an under-par score in every round, closing with a season-low 69 (-2) in the final round to move up one spot on the leaderboard. Her 210 tied her own program record for the lowest 54-hole score in a par-71 event after shooting the same to win the Silicon Valley Showcase (March 30-31, 2026) last season.
Joining Sukterm in the top 10 was Tsuru (Carlsbad, Calif./San Diego Virtual School/Oregon), who tied for ninth-place at 1-under 212 (71-71-70), her second consecutive top 15 individual finish. Tsuru posted even-par or better in all three rounds and closed with a 70 (-1) in the final round as she finished under par in back-to-back tournaments for the first time since her 2024-25 season playing for Oregon when she accomplished the feat at the Alice & John Wallace Classic (-8 204), her win at the Juli Inkster Invitational (-13 203), and the Charles Schwab Women's Collegiate Invitational (-2).
Savannah de Bock (Ecaussinnes-d'enghien, Belgium/Institut de l'Enfant-Jésus - Lycée/Georgia) opened the tournament with a 3-under 68 in the first round, the low round of the event among EMU players, and tied for 11th on the program's all-time single-round list. De Bock finished tied for 29th at 5-over 218 (68-76-74).
Mariana Vega (Barranquilla, Colombia/Colegio Karl C. Parrish) finished tied for 48th at 10-over 223 (77-72-74) with teammate Julianna Go (San Juan, Philippines/Saint Jude Catholic School/King), who competed as an individual in her first event of the 2026-27 season, joining her in that position (74-75-74). Constanza Quiroga (Cochabamba, Bolivia/Tiquipaya School/Troy) shot rounds of 71 (first) and 74 (third), but saw her second-round score erased for a disqualification, leaving her with a two-round score of 145, which ranked eighth on the program's 36-hole ledger.
Individual Notes
» Baiyok Sukterm finished below par for the third consecutive tournament to open the year and posted her second top 10 finish of the season as she shot 3-under 210 (71-70-69) to finish sixth overall. Sukterm, who opened the year with a third-place showing at the Leadership & Golf Invitational after shooting 5-under 211, tied her own program record for low 54-hole score on a par-71 course after shooting 210 to win the Silicon Valley Showcase (March 30-31, 2026) last season. Her score this week tied for the seventh-lowest in Eastern history while her 3-under finish tied for 10th all-time on the score-to-par list.
» Karen Tsuru also played consistently throughout as she tied for ninth at 1-under 212 (71-71-70) for the 15th-lowest 54-hole score in EMU history. It marked the second consecutive tournament Tsuru has finished below par this year after shooting 9-under 207 at the Golfweek Red Sky Classic (Sept. 21-22). It also marked just the third time in her career she has finished under par in back-to-back events as she accomplished the feat twice with Oregon in the 2024-25 season, including the Alice & John Wallace Invitational and Juli Inkster Invitational, an even she won, and then adding the Charles Schwab Women's Collegiate Invitational the week following her medalist honors.
» Baiyok Sukterm's rise toward the top of the leaderboard was facilitated by her steady play throughout as she was the only player in the 66-entrant field to shoot below par in every round. She tied for 12th in the field with nine birdies and tied for fourth for fewest bogies with just six total while Karen Tsuru equaled Sukterm's marks in both areas.
» Julianna Go, playing as an individual, made her season debut for the Eagles and tied for 48th overall after shooting 10-over 223 (74-75-74). Her score was the second-best as a member of the team after she shot 3-over 219 at the Boilermaker Classic, April 6-7, 2025.
Team Notes
» As a team, the 5-under 857 score recorded by the Eagles ranks among the best in program history as the 857 strokes stand as the third-lowest overall score while the 5-over finish tied for the seventh-lowest score to-par in program history. Additionally, the 857 strokes broke the program record for overall score in a 54-hole tournament on a par-71 course, surpassing the 860 strokes recorded at the Silicon Valley Showcase last season (March 30-31, 2026).
» The team opened the tournament with a score of 281, which tied for the fourth-lowest single-round score in program history while the third-round 287 tied for 25th.
Up Next
Eastern will continue its trek westward for its next competition as the Eagles are set to play in the Rainbow Wahine Invitational, Oct. 19-21. The three-day event will be hosted by the University of Hawai'i on the Ocean Course at Hokuala in Lihu'e, Kaua'i, Hawai'i.
