LOUISVILLE, Ky. – No. 17 Arkansas Women’s Golf is tied for eighth place following round one at the NCAA Louisville Regional, as the squad fired a 299 (+11) over the first 18 holes. The Hogs are tied with UCF and Tennessee, and trail Texas and Auburn for the coveted sixth spot, which would put them through to the NCAA Championship. Florida State currently leads the event at two-under, and is the only team under par. Seminole Amelia Williamson and UCLA’s Emilie Paltrinieri are co-leaders at four-under.
“Obviously, we got off to a slow start today,” Head Coach Shauna Taylor said. “I saw great fight after we made the turn, though, and that has me excited for the next two days. Cory was clutch for us today and played some great golf. This thing is a marathon until Wednesday, and I wouldn’t want to do it with any other group of young women. They are poised and ready for the climb up the leaderboard.”
