LAKE ELMO, Minn. – The No. 3 Texas A&M women's golf team completed the first round of the ANNIKA Intercollegiate in fifth on Monday at the Royal Golf Club.
Â
"The course was very gettable today, but we didn't fully capitalize on it," head coach Gerrod Chadwell said. "We got off to a slow start last week as well and fought our way back in it, so I know we can come out these next two rounds and climb the leaderboard. Mia [Nixon] was very strong today. Her game was sharp and looked great. I was really proud to see how she competed."
Â
Texas A&M shot 5-under 283 in the first round and stood 10 shots off the lead with South Carolina (-15) pacing the field. Wake Forest (-11), San Jose State (-11) and Oregon (-8) rounded out the top five. Mia Nixon made a splash in her collegiate debut, firing a team-best 3-under 69. The redshirt freshman was tied for ninth, just three strokes back of South Carolina's Louise Rydqvist for the lead.
Â
Zoe Slaughter was tied for 12th after turning in a 2-under 70 scorecard. The senior tied for the second-most birdies in the first round for the Aggies with four. Jennie Park and Adela Cernousek both shot an even-par 72 and held a share of 30th.
Â
Cayetana Fernández GarcĂa-Poggio shot 2-over 74 and was tied for 43rd to round out the lineup after day one.
