Despite a shaky first round, the Bruins bounced back.

Traveling to Illinois for the second time in one week, No. 5 UCLA women’s golf tied for fourth overall and finished 19 under par at the Illini Women’s Invitational at Medinah to complete its third tournament of the fall season.

Despite their strong finish hitting 15 and 5 under par in rounds two and three, respectively, the Bruins started 1 over par after the first round of play Monday. The top-scoring Bruin after the first round was then-sixth place senior Zoe Antoinette Campos. Following the second round, Campos jumped to second place.

“Last week’s tournament – I didn’t play very well, but I put in a lot of work coming into it,” Campos said. “I felt good the first day, and my swing felt better, and I had some putts go in.”

The team shot an overall 15 under par in the second round, moving it from sixth to fourth in the standings. Furthermore, senior Tiffany Le shot consecutive 5-under-par rounds after beginning the tournament 4 over par.

Le said her assistant coach, Erynne Yoo, helped her make a useful adjustment going into the second round.

“As we started the second round, my assistant coach actually came up to me and said that going into the second round, I should play more aggressive and go pin-seeking a little bit more,” Le said. “That’s what I did going into the second round and even the third round.”

In a faster-paced tournament like the Illini Invitational, the first and second rounds occur on one day, while the third occurs on the second day.

Coach Alicia Um Holmes said this could have contributed to the team’s increased success during the second round of play.

“We struggled a bit in the first round,” Um Holmes said. “Fortunately, we had the opportunity to play the second round on the same day with the same exact pin locations, so having a second chance at tackling the course again proved fruitful for us.”

Despite a successful second round, the Bruins finished the tournament tied for fourth after shooting 5 under par in the third round, placing behind No. 19 Ole Miss, Houston and No. 6 Auburn.

“A few of our players struggled to find the fairways, so they couldn’t really encounter the pins, and we didn’t make as many birdies as we’d like to,” Um Holmes said.

The tournament also came just a week after the Bruins’ previous contest, causing them to be home in Westwood for less than a week. Their next tournament only allows for a little over a week back home for recovery and practice.

“Our main priority as a team is probably to get lots of rest during this time, because most of us just did the two back-to-back tournaments,” Le said.

Because of the tight turnaround, the starting Bruin lineup remained the same because of a lack of time to host qualifying rounds during the team’s off-week, but Le was added as an individual player for the Illinois invitational.

UCLA will play in its fourth tournament of the season and first on the West Coast next week at the Stanford Intercollegiate, where the team tied for fifth place last year.

The Bruins have yet to crack the top three as a team this season.

“We need to come in with a little bit more confidence and commitment of what we’re trying to do and stick to our process,” Campos said.
