GOLF, Ill. — Northwestern senior Brooke Riley shot up the leaderboard behind a 3-under, 69, in the final round Tuesday to finish tied for 15th at the 12th annual Windy City Collegiate Classic.
Riley posted her second-straight top-15 finish with her second round in the 60s this season thanks to a strong finish that included a Eagle on the Par-5 eighth hole. The senior started on the back nine and stumbled with a bogey on the difficult Par-4 10th hole, but responded with a trio of birdies to make the turn at 1-under. She had another bogey on No. 2, but responded with a birdie on No. 6 and 20-foot putt for eagle on No. 8.
The Manteca, California, native took advantage of the par fives all week, leading the field in Par-5 scoring at 7-under. She finished the tournament even par, carding a 54-hole total of 216.

First year Irene Kim capped her first Windy City Classic with her third round under par of the year with a 2-under, 70, to finish the tournament tied for 42nd at 6-over overall. After opening with a bogey on No. 10 and immediately bouncing back with a birdie on No. 11, Kim was steady throughout the round. She posted 13-straight pars before dropping a pair of birdies on her final three holes to match the best round of her young career.
Kim was one of just 16 players to shoot under par on par threes in the tournament and tied for fifth in the field with 40 pars over the two days.
Sophomore Kelly Sim and junior Julia Tournant rounded out the scoring for the 'Cats in the final round, shooting 2-over and 5-over, respectively. The Wildcats were 3-over as a team Tuesday and finished 13th.
Chicago's Big Ten Team will be back in action October 11-13 at the Stanford Intercollegiate.
