PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – The first 18 holes of the 2025-26 women's golf season are in the books, as the Bulldogs sit in second place at 6-over par going into the second day of action in the Carmel Cup.

Avery Weed led the way for the Bulldogs through 18 holes. She finished the day at 2-under par and entered the clubhouse with a share of the lead. She is currently one stroke off the lead entering the second day of action. Weed has now collected a par or better round in five of her last tournaments spanning back to last season.

Two new Bulldogs sit inside the top 20 after making their collegiate debuts: Moa Stridh and Harper Hinckley. Stridh collected an even-par round and is tied for 11th entering the second day of action. The Mississippi native Hinckley finished her round strongly with three birdies in her last five holes. She enters round two tied for 19th at 2-over.

Samantha Whateley and Lynn van der Sluijs both sit in a tie for 25th at 3-over. Izzy Pellot rounds out the Bulldog lineup at 5-over.

The Bulldogs are 13 strokes behind the team leader, Texas A&M, who finished the first round at 7-under. The Aggies were the only team in the field to finish below par in the opening round. State sits one stroke above third place Oklahoma State.

Mississippi State will have the late set of tee times in the second round, as they will begin action at 9:46 a.m. CT. Live scoring for the Carmel Cup is available at scoreboard.clippd.com
