April 18, 2015 | Women's Golf
Birmingham, Ala. – After a day full of rain and stormy weather, the Mississippi State women's golf team finds itself one stroke out of the Top 10 of the SEC Championships.
Under harsh playing conditions at Greystone Country Club, the Bulldogs completed Friday's first round with a scorecard of 308 and a 13th-place finish.
“Today's conditions were completely saturated as we had rain and standing water all day long. We gave it all we had, and I expect us to be resilient and bounce back (Saturday).” MSU coach Ginger Brown-Lemm said.
Leading the way for MSU was senior All-American Ally McDonald, who fired a 2-over-74. The Fulton, Miss., native fired even par on her first three holes, along with shooing one under on holes 11-15.
Following McDonald was sophomore Ji Eun Baik. Shooting even par on the front nine holes, Baik cared a 76 on the day, completing the round tied for 30th.
Senior Rica Tse started the day strong as she shot only one over on the front nine. Tying with Tse was teammate Jessica Peng. The two shot 7-over for the day to stand tied for 46th.
Junior Blaise Carabello finished her day with an 83 and is tied for 64th place.
MSU resumes action in the SEC Championship Saturday at 10:00 CT. Weather delays are expected.
