Rebels Sit Eighth Heading Into Final Round
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – The Ole Miss women's golf team sits in eighth place as a team after the first two rounds of the Bruin Wave Invitational, Monday, at San Luis Obispo Country Club.
The Rebels battled against a tough field at the event, and are currently ahead of three ranked teams after back-to-back rounds of 307 (+19).
"We saw a lot of positives from today," head coach Kory Henkes said. "This is one of the toughest courses we play all year so it was a grind all day long. It's a really long and wet golf course so sometimes you have to take your par or bogey and be ok with it."
Pi-Lillebi Hermansson had a bounce-back second round, firing a 2-under 70, tying her season-low 18-hole score, moving her up 48 spots on the leaderboard. The sophomore is third in the tournament with five birdies on the first day, including four straight birdies on holes 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the second round.
"Pi played phenomenal during the second round and currently has the low round of the tournament," Henkes said. "I am proud of the way she fought back after her first round."
Kie Purdom sits in the top-40 heading into the final round with Hermansson. The senior shot a second-round 4-over 76 and led the team in pars with 22.
Rounding out play for the Rebels were Julia Johnson, who kept her consistent play on the par 5's not losing a single stroke on day one, and Conner Beth Ball and Ellen Hutchinson-Kay, who are both tied for second on the team in birdies with three.
The final round begins Tuesday morning at approximately 9:25 a.m. CT. Some teams still need to finish their second round.
