HOOVER, Ala.- No. 25 Texas A&M surged up the leaderboard on Saturday, shooting a 291 (+3) to move up into third place at the 2016 SEC Championship at Greystone Golf & Country Club.
"I am proud of our entire team effort today," said Texas A&M head coach Trelle McCombs. "We fought for every stroke today, battling conditions that were tougher."
After two rounds on the par 72 / 6,195 Legacy Course, the Aggies sit at 590 (+14), which is 12 shots off tournament co-leaders No. 1 Alabama and No. 7 Florida. A&M entered the second of three rounds in seventh place, before making a move up the leaderboard.
"All of the girls played well, including Thanya, who just had one bad hole," added McCombs. "Callie Scheffler really stepped up with three birdies in her last four holes, which really helped the team."
Maddie Szeryk led the Aggies on Saturday with a 2-under 70, moving up to a tie for 6th in the tournament with a two-round score of 145 (+1). Szeryk, last year's SEC Individual Runner-Up, is eight strokes behind tournament leader Maria Torres of Florida, but only is two strokes behind a three-way tie for second place.
Callie Scheffler had her third par-or-better round of the season, firing an even-par 72, closing out with birdies on No. 15, No. 17 and No. 18. She is tied for 41st at 154 (+10) after two rounds.
