Consistency
from all five Gators competing at the Cougar Classic contributed to Florida
women’s golf gaining three spots in the team rankings after round two, moving
from No. 8 to No. 5 out of 20 programs at the tournament.
For
the second day in a row, freshman Maria Torres led
the Gators women’s golf team, along with junior Anna Young. Torres fell back just one
stroke from round one, finishing one-under (71) on the day and making three
birdies in her round-two performance. Jumping significantly in the individual
rankings, Torres ended the day tied for third.
Young
improved by two strokes, shooting one-under (71) as well, surpassing her
2012-13 season best and matching her collegiate best round. The Canada native capped
off her second day on a high note, making an eagle on the 18th hole.
Redshirt
sophomore Katie Mitchell raised the bar by cutting
four strokes off of her round-one score, finishing the day even (72). Followed
by Mitchell, freshman Karolina Vlckova stayed consistent, shooting
just one-over (73) for the second-straight day and junior Camilla Hedberg fell back two strokes,
finishing five-over (77).
The
Gators showed notable progress on the day and are ready to compete in the third
and final round of the 11th annual Cougar Classic.
Head
Coach Emily Bastel Says: “Today, we played better and I was
happy to see Katie and Anna improve. We still feel like there are some birdie
opportunities that we didn't take advantage of and that's what we will try and
improve on tomorrow.”
