5/7/2024 | Women's Golf
BERMUDA RUN, N.C – Ole Miss women's golf moved into a tie for second place after the second round of action at the NCAA Bermuda Run Regional, sitting on a two-day score of 564 (-12) at the Bermuda Run Country Club.
The Rebels carded a 281 (-7) during Tuesday's 18 holes, the lowest team score in an NCAA event in program history.
Ole Miss will enter the third and final round 11 strokes ahead of North Texas, who would be the first team to miss the cut, in sixth place. The Rebels will look not only to hold their spot in the top five, but to also move to the top of the leaderboard, finding themselves six strokes back from the hosting team in Wake Forest.
At the conclusion of Wednesday's final round of stroke play, only the top five teams and top individual from a non-advancing team will clinch a spot to advance to Carlsbad, California, later this month.
As a team, the Rebels currently have made the second most birdies in the field with 34 and also rank second in par-4 scoring, shooting 7-over.
Shooting her best round yet in the postseason, Caitlyn Macnab continued to lead the Rebels in Bermuda Run after tallying a scorecard of 68 (-4) to bring her two-day total to 137 (-7). The junior sits in third place, positioning herself only three strokes back from the individual leader.
Along with ranking second in the field in par-4 scoring, shooting 4-under, Macnab had a perfect day after making four birdies and 14 pars in the second round.
Sophie Linder jumped up 18 places after a second day score of 69 (-3). The Carthage, Tennessee, native holds an overall score of 142 (-2) to find herself in a tie for 14th heading into day three.
The freshman currently ranks second across the field in par-3 scoring, shooting 2-under, and made an impressive seven birdies on the day, the most of any individual golfer in a round so far in Bermuda Run.
After a spotless back nine, Justine Fournand once again shot an even par to bring her two-round score card to 144 (E). The senior now sits in a tie for 24th after making two birdies and 14 pars.
Also shooting an even par on the day was Nicole Gal who now has a total score of 146 (+2). She will look to continue to move up the leaderboard, ending the day tied for 30th.
Rounding out the lineup for the Rebels is Natacha Host Husted, who currently sits 4-over par with a two-day total of 148. She will enter the third round of action tied for 37th.
Ole Miss will tee off their final round of the Bermuda Run Regional beginning at 7 a.m. CT Wednesday morning as the Rebels look to advance to the NCAA Championships for the fifth time in program history.
