PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas – Mississippi State women's golf sits at eighth in the White Sands Invitational at the Ocean Club Golf Course after the first round of its fall season finale on Monday.
The Bulldogs began the three-round invitational, hosted by Houston, by carding a total of 294 and shooting 6-over par.
"This course is very visually challenging," said head coach Ginger Brown-Lemm. "If you let that affect the shot you choose, then there will be penalties. The wind, which always blows 10-20 mph is nothing we haven't competed and practiced in. Factor that in with bunkers, ocean inlets, and the heavy grain of Bermuda green, you have a real test."
Freshman Ashley Gilliam shot 1-under par 71 to finish Monday as MSU's best performer. She led the Bulldogs after placing tied for 12th, only 5 strokes out of first place. With her seventh round of par or better for the season, she now sits tied for third on State's freshman list for the category.
Sinking three birdies, senior Clara Moyano shot an even 72 for the day, while tying for 21st. This marks her sixth round of par or better for the fall season.
Tied for 42nd, freshman Abbey Daniel holed her third shot for eagle on hole 2 and finished the day 3-over par 75. Junior Blair Stockett carded a score of 76, tying for 53rd, while junior Aubree Jones rounded out the Bulldogs with a score of 80.
Individual Lauren Miller also shot a round score of 3-over par 75 to finish the day in an 11-way tie for 42nd.
"We worked hard after our round on the mental process we follow," said Brown-Lemm. "then we worked on cleaning up some errant shots that costed us. We will go out and work hard in the second and final round. This is team is known to be final round Dawgs. Hail State!"
The Bulldogs will return to the Paradise Island Golf Course on Tuesday to compete in the second round of the invitational.
