Rebels in Fifth After First Round in Georgia
ATHENS, Georgia – The Ole Miss women's golf team is in fifth place overall after the first round at the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic in Athens, Georgia.
The Rebels carded a 6-over, 294, at the University of Georgia Golf Course Friday and are ahead of four top 25 teams. LSU, ranked No. 4 in the most recent Golfstat rankings, holds the team lead after firing a 288.
Senior Julia Johnson led the Rebels with five birdies on her way to posting a first round 73 (+1) and is tied for 20th overall. Johnson's one blemish was a quadruple bogey on No. 16. Johnson rebounded to shoot 1-under the rest of the way. Four of Johnson's five birdies were on par 4s.
Andrea Lignell also shot a 1-over, 73, and is tied with Johnson and four others for 20th place individually. The sophomore from Gotehnburg, Sweden, leads the field with 15 pars.
Kennedy Swann and Ellen Hume both carded a 74 (+2) during the first 18 at the UGA Golf Course on Monday. The duo is currently tied for 26th place. Swann, a senior from Austin, Texas, was second on the team with three birdies on the day, including one on her final hole on the day; the par-4 No. 9.
Hume, who missed the last two tournaments due to injury, had four bogeys on her first 12 holes, but settled to fire a 2-under on the final six holes. Hume is second on the team in par-4 scoring (-1).
Chiara Tamburlini rounded out play for the Rebels. Tamburlini is tied for 66th place after a first round 78 (+6).
The Rebels will tee off second round of play Saturday morning beginning at 8:25 a.m CT. They'll be paired with No. 1 South Carolina and tournament host, Georgia.
