Behind Carolina Chacarra’s spring-opening title at the UCF Challenge on Feb. 8 is an impressive bit of symmetry. The Wake Forest freshman’s closing round of 10-under 62 at Eagle Creek Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, matched older brother Eugenio Chacarra’s course-record 62 at Hapuna Golf Course in Kamuela, Hawaii, at the Amer Ari Invitational, which he also won three days earlier.
Carolina Chacarra’s closing 62 capped a 19-under 54-hole total that was good for her first college title and the 54-hole program scoring record in relation to par.
Chacarra’s final round was split between two days after tournament organizers lengthened Day 2 of the event to get ahead of approaching storms. She had six holes left on the final day, birdied three of them and ended up with the second-lowest 18-hole score in NCAA history.
In the fall, Chacarra, who is ranked No. 80 in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, made four starts with Wake Forest. Her best finish was a T-5 at the Bryan National Collegiate.
