Trailing by six strokes at the end of round one of the NCAA Tournament at the Country Club of Landfall in Wilmington, N.C., the top-seeded UCLA women’s golf team currently sits in a three-team tie for third place at even par.
No. 4 USC took the lead Tuesday with a 6-under-par performance at 282.
Purdue came in second on the round recording only two strokes more than the Women of Troy, winners of the Central Regional two weeks ago.
No. 5 Arizona State and No. 2 Duke are also tied with the Bruins.
In the individual competition, UCLA’s best finisher is sophomore Brianna Do, who carded a 68 (-4) on the round to tie for fourth. Do trails the first place tie by only one stroke. Junior Glory Yang shot a 71 (-1) to tie for 14th, and senior Sydnee Michaels sits in a tie for 30th with a 73 (+1) in the first round. Sophomore Stephanie Kono and freshman Tiffany Lua both posted 76 (+4) yesterday to tie for 72nd.
