Sooner Duo Starts Strong at Illini Invitational
October 07, 2019 | Women's Golf
NORMAN – A pair of Sooners are in the top three of the Illini Women's Invitational leaderboard after the tournament's opening day in Chicago. Sophomore Mikhaela Fortuna is tied for first after firing a 139 (-5) over 36 holes while junior Kaitlin Milligan is one stroke back in a tie for third.
As a team, Oklahoma sits in fourth place with 18 holes remaining at the par-72, 6,159-yard Medinah Country Club.
The Sooners opened their day with a 1-over 289 in the morning round before improving by three shots in the afternoon, carding a 2-under 286. OU's two-round total of 575 (-1) is one stroke behind third-place Illinois (574, -2) and five strokes back from second-place Louisville (570, -6). Kent State leads the 15-team team with a 567 (-9).
"We played consistent all day and had a blast out there," said OU head coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell. "We have a great game plan for tomorrow where we need to focus on ourselves and hope to take advantage of the gettable holes.
Entering the Illini Invitational with a 70.80 season stroke average, Fortuna opened her day with a bogey-free round of 69 (-3). The Philippines native carded three birdies in the afternoon to total a 2-under 70 and enter the clubhouse tied for the lead with Lauren Hartlage of Louisville.
Milligan began her day with an even-par 72 before jumping 13 spots on the leaderboard with a 4-under 68 in Monday's second round. The junior sunk six birdies en route to her lowest round in relation to par this season.
Junior Sydney Youngblood is tied for 32nd with a two-round score of 147 (+3) while freshman Maria Fernanda Martinez and sophomore Libby Winans are tied for 47th at 149 (+5).
The Sooners begin their final round Tuesday morning at 9:00 CT with a shotgun start. Oklahoma will be paired with golfers from Maryland and Texas Tech.
