Junior Shoots First Round 1-over, Tied for 14th Overall
SAN JOSE DEL CABO, Mexico – The No. 13 Ole Miss women's golf team completed the first round of the Battle at the Beach Friday afternoon in Cabo.
The Rebels shot an opening round 14-over 302 and sit in a tie for seventh after the first 18. Ole Miss leads the field in pars with 57 after the first 18 and is second in par 5 scoring (+1).
Every team in the field of 16 shot over-par on a tough first day at Club Campestre San Jose.
"We got off to a slow start today, but there is a lot of golf left to play," head coach Kory Henkes said. "We made too many unforced errors which affected our score and we look to minimize those tomorrow."
Julia Johnson led the team with a 1-over round and is tied for 14th overall. The junior got off to a slow start with two bogeys on holes No. 2 and 3, but rallied and carded three birdies in the next six holes to make the turn at 1-under. Two bogeys on the tough back-nine got her into the clubhouse at 1-over.
Kennedy Swann and Conner Beth Ball both shot 4-over 76s, and sit in a tie for 31st individually.
Pi-Lillebi Hermansson (+5) and Ellen Hutchinson-Kay (+8) rounded out the starting five scores for Ole Miss.
Chiara Tamburlini, playing as an individual, fired a career-low 2-under 70 to get her tournament started and is tied for second overall. The freshman carded 13 pars, four birdies and just one bogey. She played the par 4s (-3) and par 5s (-1) both under-par.
Andrea Lignell shot a 1-under par playing as an individual and is in a tie for fifth individually. The freshman is second in the field with five birdies and went 1-under on both the par 3s and par 5s.
Macy Somoskey made her season debut as an individual, shooting a 1-over 73, and is tied for 14th.
Second round begins Saturday morning with a 10:30 a.m. CT shotgun start. The Rebels will be paired with Denver, San Jose State and Virginia Tech.
