Kelli Scheck's par on the third playoff hole gave her the individual title at the 2024 Butler Fall Invitational Tuesday afternoon.
Â
Scheck and Youngstown State's Neeranuch Prajunpanich each finished the 54-hole event at one-over 211. The duo would head to No. 18 to decide who took home the trophy. It would take three playoff holes (all on No. 18), but Scheck's third consecutive par was enough for the win as Prajunpanich was unable to hole her par putt the third time around.
Â
Scheck held a one-shot lead over Prajunpanich heading into the final round and carded a 71 Tuesday on the 6,040-yard Highland course. Including the three playoff holes, Scheck parred 48 of the 57 holes during the tournament. She added four birdies.
Â
Scheck's performance led the Bulldogs to a tie for second place in the team standings. The Bulldogs posted a Tuesday round of 293 after rounds of 288 and 294 Monday for a total of 875 (+35). Youngstown State (863; +23) took the team title, holding off the Bulldogs and Marian, which tied for second. There were 17 teams in the field.
Â
Butler's
Cybil Stillson and
Lily Celentano tied for 12
th on the leaderboard, each registering a nine-over 219 for the 54 holes. There were a total of 12 Bulldogs in the 106-player field.

For the second day in a row, the competitors utilized lift, clean and place from the fairway. Â
