PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – The Texas A&M women's golf team finished the first round of the Carmel Cup tied for third after Adela Cernousek fired a 4-under 68 Friday at the Pebble Beach Golf Links.
"Course played a little tougher than years past," head coach Gerrod Chadwell said. "We got off to a good start, but the middle of our round wasn't as clean as we should have had it. Adela was very in control today and Vanessa was solid as well. If this was one of our worst rounds, then I am excited for what could be."
Cernousek, the reigning NCAA Individual Champion, shot a 4-under 68 to begin her senior campaign. The Antibes, France, native was even thru 8, but knocked down three straight birdies and added one more on No. 15 to leap into a tie for second. Cernousek was two strokes back of Mississippi State's Julia Lopez Ramirez.
Vanessa Borovilos shot even par for the first round of her collegiate career. The freshman mended her two bogeys on the front nine with two birdies on Nos. 6 and 7 and then recorded 10-straight pars to end the day tied for eighth. Cayetana Fernández García-Poggio carded a 2-over 74 after the first 18, securing her a share of 12th going into Saturday.
Lauren Nguyen shot 3-over 75 in the first team event of her Aggie career. The Katy, Texas, native was tied for 18th after the first round. Mia Nixon and Kynadie Adams rounded out the lineup tied for 31st and 41st, respectively.
The Aggies were tied for third with Vanderbilt, while Mississippi State (+3) and Arkansas (+1) held the top two spots.
