OXFORD, Miss. - Natalie Gleadall shot a tournament-best 3-under 69 to lead the Ole Miss women's golf team to a 292 and into a tie for first at the conclusion of the opening round of the BancorpSouth Rebel Intercollegiate.
No. 17 Baylor also shot a 292 to join Ole Miss at the top of the standings. Missouri sits six strokes back from the Rebels and Bears.
Gleadall shot a par through the first nine holes before rolling through the back-nine with three birdies. For the day, the senior birdied four holes and bogeyed just one. She holds a one stroke lead over Baylor's Jaclyn Jansen. The two were the only players to finish under-par for the round.
"She [Gleadall] looked really comfortable and kept hitting darts right at the flag," said Ole Miss head coach Michele Drinkard. "She had her ball rolling today too. When that happens, the hole starts looking as big as a basketball hoop, and she drains everything."
Coming off of her first career top-five finish in Maui last week, senior Haley Millsap shot her way into fourth with a 1-over 73.
Ericka Schneider, who also turned in a season-best performance in Maui, finds herself in the top-10 at ninth place. A birdie on the final hole gave her a 2=over finish for the round.
"As a team we hit more greens today and made a good number of birdies as a result<," said="" drinkard.="" "our="" focus="" tomorrow="" will="" be="" the="" same,="" take="" care="" of="" the="" process="" and="" the="" outcome="" will="" be="">
Play will continue tomorrow with the second round at the Ole Miss Golf Course. Fans can follow along with live scoring at www.OleMissSports.com. You can also follow the Rebels on twitter at @OleMissWGolf and on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/OleMissWGolf.
