Women’s Golf Wraps up First Round of Liz Murphey
Mar 19, 2021 | Women's Golf
ATHENS, Ga. – Texas A&M women's golf finished the first round of the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic at the University of Georgia Golf Course in 18th place on Monday.
"We got off to a slow start today, but really started to figure it out in the second nine," Head coach Andrea Gaston said. "The team fought hard, but we need to come out tomorrow and play more free and aggressive. If we can get off to a better start tomorrow with a few quick birdies, then we can ride that momentum through the round."
Courtney Dow, Blanca Fernández García-Poggio, Ava Schwienteck and Brooke Tyree all shot 5-over 77 and stand tied for 57th.
Tyree led the team with four birdies, including three in the first nine. Fernández García-Poggio carded three birdies in the final five holes of the day, while Dow and Schwienteck registered a team-high 12 pars.
Amber Park rounds out the group in 89th with a 10-over 82.
The Aggies tee off tomorrow morning for round two at 9:10 a.m. CT. Fans can keep up with the live stats for the tournament here.
