Yang Leads Women’s Golf At Rain-Shortened Dickson Invite
February 27, 2018 | Women's Golf
HOUSTON, TX. – Sophomore Athena Yang opened up the day red hot and didn't look back as her Top-6 finish led the Mississippi State women's golf team to an 11-over 299 in a rain-shortened Dickson Invitational presented by Ion.
Yang carded a pair of birdies to finish the event, which was shortened by rain to just one 18-hole round, tied for sixth with a 1-under 71.
Her round, which finished one stroke off her season low, helped MSU end the event tied with No. 23 Iowa State for ninth at 11-over 299.
"Mother Nature was not very good to us this week," MSU coach Ginger Brown-Lemm said. "We were able to get out there and get 18 in today, walking the course in a flood. We had good rounds from Athena, Katie, and Blair which anchored our team round. We are continuing to work hard and learn from each round."
Nearly six inches of rain fell over the weekend causing officials of The Dickson to cancel Monday's opening two rounds.
Yang opened her day on the rain-saturated course with three pars before sinking a birdie on No. 5. She finished her round with another birdie on her final hole.
In her spring debut, junior Katie Holt fired a trio of birdies to wrap up the tournament at 1-over 73 and tied for 21st. Reigning SEC Freshman of the Week Blair Stockett found the going tough on her first nine holes, but the rookie made a strong rally on the back nine, carding birdies on Nos. 11, 15 and 17 to wrap the day with a 3-over 75.
Ela Grimwood and Aubree Jones rounded out the Bulldog lineup with an 80 and 82, respectively.
Head coach Ginger Brown-Lemm's squad gets only a few days of rest before returning to action March 2-4 at the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate in Hilton Head, S.C.
