ANNAPOLIS, Md. — First-year Sarah Shao shot a final-round 74 and took solo third at the Navy Spring Invitational. The two-day, 36-hole event wrapped up on Sunday at Naval Academy Golf Course.
Shao posted three birdies, three bogeys and a lone double-bogey at her closing last on Sunday.

She was 1-over in the 36-hole event, finishing four shots off medalist Amy Han of Boston. Shao's weekend also included a career-low round of 1-under-par 71 on Saturday.
