Srinivasan finished second at the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, last week with an overall score of even-par for her fourth top-two or better finish this season. The senior from Spartanburg, South Carolina, opened with a 1-over 72 and followed with an even-par 71 in round two to place her in a tie for second heading into the final 18.
