Women's Golf Maintains Position At SEC Championship

4/18/2009 | Women's Golf

BLYTHEWOOD, S.C. The Ole Miss women’s golf team shot a 298 in the second round of the SEC Championship Saturday, and remained in a tie for seventh heading into the final round at the Cobblestone Park Golf Club.

Arkansas fired a 3-over-par 287 Saturday - the second-best team round of the tournament thus far - to move into first place. On another picture-perfect day in South Carolina, the Razorbacks’ 287 was bested only by LSU’s 2-over 286.  Arkansas (582) leads Auburn by three (585).   LSU is third at 587, Tennessee is fourth at 589, and Alabama is fifth at 591.  The Rebels are tied with host South Carolina at 599.

 

Senior Dori Carter shot another round of 73 and is tied for 11th at 146.  Freshman Ashley Lance, who equaled her best round of the year yesterday with a 70, struggled to a second-round 78 and is tied for 19th.  Junior Sara Grantham rebounded from a disappointing first round (80) to fire a 73 and move up in the standings to a tie for 34th.  Freshman Haley Millsap shot 76, and sophomore Jillian Brodd carded a 75 to round out the Rebels.

 

“We improved on our first day score and achieved several goals today as a team,” head coach Michele Drinkard said.  “Competition only makes you stronger, and today’s round helped us learn how to compete and step up to the next level.

 

“Tomorrow we will stick to our same plan, which is to play relaxed, be patient and let the outcome take care of itself.”

Ole Miss will tee off the final round beginning at 7:50 a.m. CT.  To follow the Rebels during the championship go to www.OleMissSports.com and click on the live scoring link in the calendar box.
