Kayla Eckelkamp claimed individual medalist honors at the Early Bird Tournament and the Maryville women’s golf squad finished third at Paradise Point Country Club in Smithville, Mo.

Windy conditions were the order of the day but Eckelkamp was one of just two golfers to break 80 as she fired a tournament-best 79 on the final day to ease to a four-shot win .
