GREENVILLE, S.C. – After the first round of the 45th Annual Lady Paladin Invitational, the University of New Mexico Women’s Golf team finished 15th with a score of 14-over par 302.
Ingrid Gutierrez lead the Lobos with a first round of 73, 1-over par. Her birdie on the third hole helped keep her even for a solid first nine. She’s currently tied for 30th with 11 other participants.
Alexandra Moisand is close behind with a score of 75, she finished with two birdies on the back nine. Manon Molle’ trails behind with a score of 76, while Darian Zachek and Katerina Jaeger follow with scores of 78 and 81, respectively.
“We made some mistakes out there,” said head coach Jill Trujillo. “But mostly, we did not capitalize on the par-5 holes. This course is easy to score on and tomorrow’s par-5 play should be better with more birdies.”
Trujillo adds that “The Bermuda greens are not always easy to read, so I expect, with one round under our belts, the putts will drop tomorrow”.
No. 20 Furman leads overall with a first round score of 281, seven under. Middle Tennessee State is currently in second place after a first round of 260. No. 28 Texas follows behind with a 283.
Texas’ Emilee Hoffman leads the pack with an overall score of 65 in the first round, 7- under par. In a close second, Amanda Hollandsworth from Virginia Tech came in with the overall score of 67, five under par after the first round.
The Lobos will continue to the second round of the Lady Paladin Invitational tomorrow in Greenville, S.C. and the Lobos will tee off at 9:00 am, with Katerina Jaeger teeing off first.
