NORMAN, Okla. — Following a day of strong winds at the par-72 Jimmie Austin Golf Club, the Mississippi State women's golf team sits in eighth place at six-over par (582), one shot out of sixth place at the Norman Regional. The top six teams will advance to the NCAA National Championship.
The Bulldogs battled the weather and had 12 birdies on the day, carding a seven-over par (295) in the second round Tuesday.
Twenty-four teams across four regional sites will advance to the NCAA Championship at the Blessings Golf Course in Fayetteville, Arkansas, May 17-22. State has put itself in contention with the final round to play Wednesday.
"Today was a true test," head coach Ginger Brown-Lemm said. "The heat of an NCAA Regional, 20 mph winds, and 6,400 yards of a great course at Jimmie Austin tested us. Patience was a critical key out there, and we displayed that in never giving up and fighting until the end."
Freshman Hannah Levi led the Bulldogs, carding a trio of birdies in the second round. She is three-under par and tied for eighth after scoring a 71 Tuesday.
Sophomore Aubree Jones rolled in four birdie putts to finish two-under par to tie for 14th going into the final round.
After the conclusion of the second round, sophomore Blair Stockett is tied for 33rd at three-over par. She fired back-to-back birdies on the last two holes of the second round to finish with a 77.
Junior Ela Grimwood had a slow start but birdied Nos. 3 and 18 to card a 77 and tie for 60th at eight-over par.
The Bulldogs tee off at 9 a.m. CT with a shotgun start due to expected weather. Live Stats can be found at GolfStat.com.
