ATHENS, Ga. – The Vanderbilt women’s golf team is in 16th place after the second round of the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic with a two-round total of 637 (316-321). Liebelei Lawrence is the leading Commodore scorer and is in a tie for 26th place with a score of 155 (73-82).
“We couldn’t get anything going today,” said Vanderbilt head coach Greg Allen. “It’s a tough golf course and the conditions were pretty difficult. But, we’ve got to keep our head up and keep moving forward. We’ve got a good team, but we’re in a slump right now. We’ve got to keep trying to make shots, and hopefully the putts will start dropping for us.”
Lawrence posted a second-round 82 after ending the first day with a 73, which was good for fourth place in the individual race heading into today’s round. She is now in a tie for 26th place with a two-round total of 155. Sophomore Brooke Goodwin posted the best round of the day for the Commodores with a second-day 77 and is tied for 56th place with a 159 (82-77). Jacqui Concolino has a two-day total of 161 (80-81, T-70), Megan Grehan is at 162 (81-81, T-75), and Julie Bartholomew sits at 169 (83-86, T-89). Amber Lundskog played as an individual and has a two-round total of 172 (89-83, T-91).
Host Georgia leads the tournament with a total of 602 (302-300), three strokes better than Purdue, who is at 605 (302-303). Duke’s Amanda Blumenherst and Purdue’s Maude-Aimee Leblanc are tied for the individual lead with a two-over par, 146.
The final round of the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic concludes Sunday at the University of Georgia Golf Course.
