NORMAN, Okla. -- The University of Oklahoma women's golf team is tied for sixth place after one round at the SunTrust Gator Invitational in Gainesville, Fla. The 14-team event is being played at the 6,002-yard, par-70 Mark Bostick Golf Course.
The seventh-ranked Sooners carded a 295 (+15) on the day and are only three strokes behind tournament co-leaders Ohio State (ranked 30th) and Florida State (ranked 42nd). Penn State is in third place after shooting a 293 (+13) while 12th-ranked Arizona and 29th-ranked Virginia are tied for fourth after carding a 294 (+14).
Anne-Catherine Tanguay leads the Sooners through 18 holes, logging a first-round 72 (+2). The senior is tied for seventh place out of 81 competitors.
OU senior Chirapat Jao-Javanil and freshman Alexandra Kaui each recorded a 4-over 74 (+4) and are tied for 25th place.
Senior Emily Collins is tied for 38th place after shooting a 75 (+5) and classmate Kaitlyn Rohrback is tied for 52nd after registering a 77 (+7). Rohrback parred nine of her last 10 holes on the day.
Fifth-year Sooner head coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell said she is anxious to see how her team progresses in the final two rounds.
“It played tough out there today,” Drouin-Luttrell said. “We hung in there and are only three shots out of the lead. We have two more days to get better.”
