HUMBLE, Texas – Texas A&M golfer Adela Cernousek led the Aggies to a 23-under 553 through the first two rounds of the Chevron Collegiate on Monday at the Golf Club of Houston, marking the second-lowest 36-hole mark in program history.
"Great day overall from our group," head coach Gerrod Chadwell said. "We were really good during the middle of the day, which is a testament to the things we are doing away from the golf course back home. We have some things we want to clean up for tomorrow, but I know we are going to come out and put together a great 18 holes. It was awesome to see a bunch of Aggies out there supporting us, and I know it impacted the way we played. I hope to see them back out there tomorrow to yell and give us some energy."
Cernousek went 9-under 135 through 36 and was in solo first after day one. The junior is seeking the first tournament victory of her career and has already logged three top-five finishes this season. The Antibes, France, native turned in rounds of 6-under 66 and 3-under 69. The junior is tied for first with Nicha Kanpai (Maryland) and Patricie Mackova (Maryland).
The Aggies are tied with SMU after two rounds as a team. Their first 18 resulted in an 11-under 277, which tied for the sixth lowest round for the program. They followed that up with an even better 12-under 276, tying for the fifth best for A&M.
The Maroon & White are looking to defend their title at the Chevron Collegiate from last year and are in hot pursuit of the current 54-hole record of 34-under 830, which was set at this very course last season.
Cayetana Fernández García-Poggio, the No. 2 ranked amateur in the world, secured a seemingly excellent 3-under 69 in the first round of the day. However, she followed that up with a 5-under 67 that was the result of a 31 on the back nine of round two where she holed five birdies. The freshman held a share of fourth with 18 holes remaining.
All-American Jennie Park gave the team five strokes to the historic performance, carding a 5-under 139 for 36 holes. The Carrollton, Texas, native stood tied for 20th.
Slaughter and Blanca Fernández García-Poggio tied for 38th and 45th, respectively, to round out the lineup.
