Editor's Note: This story was edited on Tuesday, April 22, following the disqualification of Appalachian State's Haley Zagoria for using 56-degree wedge that did not conform to the Rules of Golf in Sunday's first round. Her club was sent to the USGA, who inspected it and made that ruling. Consequently, Zagoria was retroactively disqualified from the first round. The disqualification changed Appalachian State's first-round score from a 331 to a 340 and its final score from 990 to 999. It also dropped Appalachian State in the final standings from seventh to ninth, bumping up UNCG and The Citadel one spot each. Wofford's Allyson Markiewicz also moved up a spot to 41st place.
